Summary |
'Bye bye Columbus', a television play first broadcast by the BBC in 1992, is a wry and mocking portrait of a man who sailed halfway across the world for a hint of gold. Peter Barnes mockingly dramatises the distinctly unheroic expedition of Christopher Columbus, which changed the face of the globe, though not entirely in the way he was expecting. |
