It’s hard not to warm to Daniel Wang’s blend of disco-infused house – and relentless enthusiasm behind the decks – and when he had the chance to team up with Bodytonic’s own disconaut Conor L, it was always going to be epic. Two touring companies took his plays all round Britain. [224] The three are set, respectively, in 1770s America, Ancient Egypt, and 1890s Morocco. When the Nazi Party came to power in Germany in January 1933, Shaw described Hitler as "a very remarkable man, a very able man",[176] and professed himself proud to be the only writer in England who was "scrupulously polite and just to Hitler".
