NOTES
Read by Martyn Swain
Pangloss would have been right at home in a post-truth, social media world. You can imagine the tweets, "I was hanged and survived #soggyrope", or, "#nosyphilisnochocolate". Candide, written in 1759, was never more relevant than today. Blind obeisance and denial, barbarous villainy, greed, and rapacity, are all in a day's toil for the young Candide. And this is in the best of all possible worlds!
