Zusammenfassung:	"In 1991, before an election they did not expect to win, the Conservative government made a fateful decision to privatize the railways. Now, twelve years later, as a result of that privatization, the taxpayer subsidizes rail more lavishly than ever before. In The Permanent Way, David Hare, working with actors from the Out of Joint Company, tells the intricate, madcap story of a dream gone sour, by gathering together the first-hand accounts of those most intimately involved - from every level of the system. Funny, tragic, and compelling, the play offers an extraordinary parable of British mis-management that raises questions about the recent history of the country."--BOOK JACKET.
