Three fascinating plays by a master storyteller. A unique collection of three plays by Olympic coach and best-selling author Tom McNab. They cover the dark world of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the final days of George Orwell, and an imaginary relationship between Orson Welles and Leni Riefenstahl. Tom McNab met Jesse Owens in 1964 and had a personal correspondence with Leni Riefenstahl in the 1960s. His play about her life, Leni-Leni , has been performed successfully at festivals in Cannes, Moscow and Los Angeles. 1936: Berlin was produced at the Lilian Baylis, Sadlers Wells as part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad in London. Suitable for schools, colleges and youth groups. The plays are: 1936: BERLIN As Nazi Germany prepares for the greatest propaganda success of the decade –  the Berlin Olympics – American sport considers a boycott. In the USA, journalist William Shirer takes the lid off the political infighting and the dilemma faced  by legendary athlete Jesse Owens. ORWELL ON JURA A vivid portrait of the ailing Orwell as he struggles to complete his final novel  “1984.” In his dreams, he is visited by the characters of his past works, who  address him for the last time. WHISPER IN THE HEART Valencia 1955, and a down-at-heel Orson Welles engages another troubled  soul, Leni Riefenstahl, to assist him in a pelota-based BBC documentary. Two of the greatest filmmakers of their day share the peaks and troughs of their  troubled lives.
