Democracy rules

Article Abstract:

Playwright, Michael Frayn's play, 'Democracy', is a gripping account of Willy Brandt's years as German Chancellor, his Ostpolitik of reconciliation with Eastern Germany and the Soviet Union, its part in the thawing of the Cold War, and, ultimately, the fall of the Berlin Wall. 'Democracy' focuses on the relationship between the charismatic Brandt and Gunter Guillaume, who joined Brandt's staff as a junior aide within weeks of his election and who was eventually promoted to his personal assistant.
