Alistair will be the voice of Saville, but not in any way made to look like him so as not to promote his image, the play deals with the facts around the case, the way he manipulated people in high places etc.
I think it will be quite an interesting play to watch, based on the documentation of what has happened and how it was allowed to happen.
Nothing at all to do with glorifying Saville, more to do with informing us to what was going on, Jonathan Maitland thought it would get the message across better than writing a documentary which was his first inclination.
