1. Magnificence

   Magnificence is a 1973 play by English playwright Howard Brenton. It has two plotlines. Firstly, five far-left revolutionaries squat an unoccupied house in London. Secondly, a Conservative cabinet MP loses faith in himself. The two plotlines converge in the final scene, where Jed accidentally kills both himself and the MP with plastic explosive. The published text of the play takes as its epigraph lines from Brecht's Die Maßnahme: Sink into the mire Embrace the butcher But change the world.
