Overview
The play's problem is firstly that it would work far better on television or radio, and secondly, that it has been written about 50 years too late. Scales exemplifies the kind of Sixties Oxbridge spinster who would devote her life to a brilliant, but unattainable male don. Although the female student's allegations spark off the play's action, the real core of the drama lies in [Anne Hatton]'s love for [Edgar Naseby] and her burning desire to protect his genius. The academic politics and corruption of the external examiner are mere details: this is a distinctly pre-feminist tale of selfless adoration.
