About the show

Marlow recalls a voyage into Central Africa to find Kurtz, an ivory trader whose remote station has become violent and lawless. As the steamboat travels upriver, Marlow learns about Kurtz’s growing power and the Company’s attempts to reach him. Kurtz returns downriver with Marlow but dies on the journey. Back in London, Marlow gives Kurtz’s fiancée his letter and hides the truth of his final words.
