Edward provided an opening when he was in the Mediterranean in 1903 and heard that the French president, Emile Loubet, was visiting Algiers.

Edward set the climate in which the British were prepared to trust the French, because their new king did so; and the French were prepared to trust the British if Edward was their representative.

This play, based on the wartime diaries of Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop, has been touring since February, but it is Melbourne's good luck to have a short season that includes Anzac Day.
Comprised almost entirely of the actual words recorded in Weary Dunlop's diaries, the dramatisation is skilfully handled by playwright Alan Hopgood, who creates a dialogue between the 80-year-old Dunlop (Falk), a manifestation of his younger self (Pigot) and a "genie of the diary" (Tredinnick).
It took 40 years, and the loss of his wife to Alzheimer's disease before Dunlop could return to the boxes containing the scraps of paper that had been so carefully hidden from his captors in the prison camps.
