COLUMN David Jarman Information overload Not many days go by without my cutting something interesting out of the newspapers and filing it away, for future reference, between the leaves of a relevant book. That, at least, is the idea. All too often however, it’s a matter of out of sight, out of mind. And even when I do remember the item in question, tracking it down can prove exasperating. So I was pleased recently to come across an article about a radio play satirising overexplanatory wireless dialogue, which I thought lost. This Gun that I Have in my Right Hand is Loaded was written by Timothy West. It contains many priceless lines such as: ‘A whisky, eh? That’s a strange drink for an attractive auburn-haired girl of 29’. Tom Stoppard did something similar in his spoof country-house whodunnit The Real Inspector Hound. Early on, the char, Mrs Drudge, answers the telephone and announces: “Hello, the drawing-room of Lady Muldoon’s country residence one morning in early spring”. Later in the same conversation she gives voice to her fears: “I hope nothing is amiss for we, that is Lady Muldoon and her houseguests, are here cut off from the world, including Magnus, the wheelchair-ridden half-brother of her ladyship’s husband Lord Albert Muldoon who ten years ago went out for a walk on the cliffs and was never seen again”. In Sheridan’s The Critic, first performed at Drury Lane Theatre in 1779, it’s a play within a play. Mr Puff has written a tragedy entitled The Spanish Armada. He takes Mr Dangle and Mr Sneer to see a rehearsal at… Drury Lane Theatre. Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Christopher Hatton enter, deep in conversation. What is the meaning of ‘these mighty armaments? This general muster? And this throng of chiefs?’ that Sir Christopher has noticed. Observant chap that he is, he concludes: “I cannot but surmise – Forgive, my friend, if the conjecture’s rash – I cannot but surmise – the State some danger apprehends!” Sir Walter embarks on his exposition: “You know, my friend, scarce two revolving suns and three revolving moons have closed their course, since haughty Philip, in despite of peace, with hostile hand hath struck at England’s trade”. Sir Christopher does. In fact: “I know it well”. Sir Walter: “Philip, you know is proud Iberia’s king”. Sir Christopher: “He is”. Raleigh provides a bit of context: “His subjects in base bigotry and Catholic oppression held, - while we, you know, the Protestant persuasion hold”. Sir Christopher: “We do”. Furthermore, Sir Christopher’s intelligence extends to knowing that: “the famed Armada, by the Pope baptised, with purpose to invade these realms”, has already set sail. Undeterred, Sir Walter continues: “You also know…” At this point, Mr Dangle gives vent to his exasperation: “Mr Puff, as he knows all this, why does Sir Walter go on telling him?” Puff explains: “But the audience are not supposed to know anything of the matter, are they?” Alas, Sir Christopher’s feigned ignorance, assumed to enlighten the audience, fails to convince. As Mr Sneer says: “there certainly appears no reason why Sir Walter should be so communicative”. John Hoppner - Portrait of a Gentleman, traditionally been identified as Richard Brinsley Sheridan 35
