The story of the fugitive crewmen of The Bounty, as they try to create a new life on the island of Pitcairn. Stars Ralph Truman.
A bloodthirsty take on what happened to Fletcher Christian and the crew after the mutiny. Lee even penned a 'foreword' for the drama, explaining: "I had always wanted to write a play of this story, but not as a history of Pitcairn. What I've tried to do here is to adapt the legend - which reads like some primitive saga - and to extend the theme in more general terms, to make it anywhere, anytime."
First broadcast on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Third Programme in 1959.
