On A Day In Summer In A Garden by Don Haworth

Parade's End by Ford Madox Ford. 
******A major dramatisation by Robert Forrest of Ford Madox Ford's quartet of novels. 

WH Auden wrote: 'There are not many ENGLISH novels which deserve to be called great: 
Parade's End is one of them'. In Malcolm Bradbury's view it is 'quite simply, the greatest 
modern war novel from a British writer'. 

The four books, published between 1924 and 1928, follow Christopher Tietjens, scion of an 
old and wealthy family of Yorkshire gentry, from his privileged but troubled pre-war life as a 
young government statistician, through the mud and terrors of the Great War trenches, to the 
radically changed social landscape of the post-war years.

The Iceman Cometh - Act 02 of 04
The Iceman Cometh - Act 03 of 04
The Iceman Cometh - Act 04 of 04
******Tragedy in four acts by Eugene O'neill, written in 1939 and produced and published 
in 1946. Considered by many to be his finest work, the drama exposes the human need 
for illusion and hope as antidotes to the natural condition of despair. O'Neill mined the 
tragedies of his own life for this depiction of a ragged collection of alcoholics in a rundown 
New York tavern-hotel run by Harry Hope. The saloon regulars numb themselves 
with whiskey and make grandiose plans, but they do nothing. They await the arrival 
of big-spending Theodore Hickman ("Hickey"), who forces his cronies to pursue their 
much-discussed plans, hoping that real failure will make them face reality. Hickey finally confesses that 
he killed his long-suffering wife just hours before he arrived at Harry's, and he turns himself in to the police. 
The others slip back into an alcoholic haze, clinging to their dreams once more.

The Prisoner of Zenda 3.3 - The Attack on the Castle of Zenda
******Five times made into film versions since its original publication in 1894, 
The Prisoner of Zenda is a perennially popular adventure and romance story. 
Hope's swashbuckling romance transports his English gentleman hero, Rudolf Rassendyll,
 from a comfortable life in London to fast-paced adventures in Ruritania, a mythical land 
steeped in political intrigue. Rassendyll must impersonate the rightful king in order to 
rescue him from the castle Zenda, all the while facing tests of honor with the beautiful 
Princess Flavia, and enduring tests of strength in his encounters with the villainous 
Black Michael and his handsome, debonair bodyguard, Rupert of Hentzau.

15-Minute Hamlet by Tom Stoppard
******Some of the lines from Shakespeare's

From Here To Eternity 1.2 by James Joyce
From Here To Eternity 2.2
******This is a long, satisfying, commanding novel of the soldiers who were poised on the brink 
of real manhood when World War II flung them unceremoniously into that abyss. Private 
Robert E. Lee Prewitt is the nonconformist hero who refuses to box at Schofield Barracks 
and is slowly destroyed by his own rebelliousness. Around him, others are fighing their own 
small battles--and losing. It's worth noting that Jones' 1951 audience was shocked by his 
frank language and the sexual preoccupations of his characters.

He claims to be a friend of the man she has come to Paris to look for, and he seems to 
know everything about her. The police arrive and take her for questioning. By the same 
author as Death and the Maiden, with the same density of tension and unuttered threat.


A Canticle For Leibowitz by Walter Miller
******In a barbarous and fallen world, the monks of the Order of Leibowitz inherit 
the sacred relics and spend their lives copying, illuminating and interpreting the 
holy fragments. They vow to preserve ancient knowledge, but will man learn from

Amazonia, A Portrait Of Arthur Ransome by Garry Lyons
******Arthur Ransome is best known now for translations of
Russian folk tales, and the Swallows and Amazons novels.

But once he was far better known for a scandalous libel
suit with Lord Alfred Douglas (Oscar Wilde's 'Bosie'),
and then for being overseas correspondent in Russia for
The Daily News, and then for The Manchester Guardian.

He was in Russia during the 1917 revolutions, and the
post WWI western interventions in Russia. His political
stance made him unpopular with the UK's intelligence
services, who seem to have blackmailed him into doing
some work for them. At the same time he was posting
articles sympathetic to the Bolsheviks.

This is some of the story.



The Winslow Boy by Terence Rattigan (6 hours)
******based on an actual incident in the Edwardian era, which took place at the 
Royal Naval College, Osborne.
Ronnie Winslow, a thirteen-year-old cadet at the Royal Naval College, is accused 
of the theft of a five-shilling postal order. An internal enquiry, conducted without 
notice to his family and without benefit of representation, finds him guilty, and his 
father, Arthur Winslow, is "requested to withdraw" his son from the college 
(the formula of the day for expulsion). Winslow believes Ronnie's claim of innocence 
and, with the help of his suffragette daughter Catherine and his friend and family 
solicitor Desmond Curry, launches a concerted effort to clear Ronnie's name. This is 
no small matter, as under British law, Admiralty decisions are official acts of the government, 
which cannot be sued without its consent—traditionally expressed by the Attorney General 
responding to a petition of right with the formula "Let right be done".

The Winslows succeed in engaging the most highly sought after barrister in England at the time, 
Sir Robert Morton, known also to be a shrewd opposition Member of Parliament. 



Man and Boy by Terrence Rattigan
******Set in New York 1934
This performance of Terence Rattigan's final play features Alan Bates as fraudulent 
international financier Gregor Antonescu,who, with his worldwide empire

That Man Atlee 2.6
That Man Atlee 3.6
That Man Atlee 4.6
That Man Atlee 5.6
That Man Atlee 6.6
******Everyone thought the 1945 General Election was a shoe-in for Churchill. This play captures the drama 
of the events surrounding the election that shaped post-war Britain.

On the day of the count Labour are expecting to lose, but as the results swing their way and the Party 
smell power, Herbert Morrison tries to unseat his boss Clement Atlee. In a bout of political infighting 
that makes Blair versus Brown look like a tea party, an unlikely victor emerges to lead Great Britain 
into a Socialist future.



Philadelphia, Here I Come! by Brian Friel.
******Set in Ballybeg. 1964	 
 Fed up with the dreary round of life in Ballybeg, with his uncommunicative father and his humiliating 
job at his father's grocery shop, with his frustrated love for Kathy Doogan who married a richer, 
more successful young man and with the total absence of prospect and opportunity in his life at home, 
Gareth O'Donnell has accepted his aunt's invitation to come to Philadelphia. On the eve of his departure, 
despite the fantasies Gar entertains of life in America, all it take to stop him leaving would be one word of 
affection from his father or Kathy, or a word of genuine understanding from his friends.
A highly original piece that launched Friel on the international stage, Philadelphia, Here I Come! centres around 
a young man, Gareth (Gar) O'Donnell, and his intended move to America specifically Philadelphia. The play takes 
place on the night before and morning of Gar's departure to America. Gar is portrayed by two characters, Gar Public 
("the Gar that people see, talk to, talk about") and Gar Private ("the unseen man, the man within, the conscience"). 
Gareth lives with his father, County Councillor and shopkeeper, S.B. O'Donnell ("a responsible, respectable citizen") 
with whom he has never connected. Gar works for his father in his shop and their relationship is no different from that 
of Boss and Employee. Private often makes fun of S.B. calling him "Screwballs" and parodying his nightly routine 
as a fashion show.
Essentially, this play is a tragic comedy. It contains many comical scenes, especially the scene with Lizzy Sweeny, 
Gar's aunt, in which Gar decides to go to America. Despite the fact that Gar seems to have a relationship with his 
father no different to that of Boss and Employee, there are indications that there is love between them. in 
episode 1, Madge says "It must have been near daybreak when he (SB O'Donnell) got to sleep last night. 
I could hear the bed creaking." Other indications that SB is secretley devastated by his son's imminent departure 
include his memory of Gar going to school in a sailor suit, and the scene when he pretends to read the paper, 
but fails to notice that it has been upside-down.
Gar's reasons for going to America (he wanted to prove to Aunt Lizzie that he was not "cold like the O'Donnells"), 
along with his secret love for his uncommunicative father, and their desperate final, pathetic attempts to communicate 
make this play quite tragic.All of the action in this play takes place within a period of a few hours on the evening of 
Gar's departure, but it also includes flashbacks to Gar's relationship with local girl Kate Doogan, and the visit from 
his Aunt Lizzie





Bequest to the Nation by Terence Rattigan
******First Produced at the Haymarket 1970 
Based on his 1966 television play Nelson (full title - Nelson - A Portrait in Miniature). 
The passionate relationship between Lord Nelson and Emma Hamilton causes 
tensions and friction amongst Nelson's family and colleagues. What does the 
greatest naval hero of the day see in this drunken, vulgar woman? Rattigan's

and their child Horatia to the nation on his death.

M is for Moon Among Other Things by Tom Stoppard
******Fifteen-minute radio play.  Broadcast by the BBC on April 6, 1964 on the "Just Before Midnight" series. 
Repeated 1990-07-31

thoughts take place at 10 p.m. on 5 August 1962. Constance is reading the M volume of the encyclopaedia, 
a subscription to which was a birthday present from her rich brother. Her husband Alfred is dismissive of it. 
Then the news comes on and they hear of the death of Marilyn Monroe.



Grenades by Tara McKevitt, Winner of the PJ O'Connor Awards for Radio Drama 2010
****** This interrupted monologue marks a double first for Donegal author Tara McKevitt. Her debut play-script 
for the medium of radio is also the top prize-winner in this year’s RTE PJ O’Connor Competition, and can be 
heard appropriately on the eve of the Twelfth of July and the tantrum of the drums, when a traumatised teenager 
recalls the death of her beloved brother during the Northern Troubles. 




Sarah and Ken by Rebecca Lenkiewicz
******A desperate love story, and a beautiful history of the treatment of mental health, 
written by one of Britain's foremost playwrights for the two lead actors. Sarah and Ken 
met as foster siblings, and fell in love. While he has married a good wife and fathered 
beautiful children, she has spent her whole life in institutions, and they have maintained 
a passion for each other that has no place in either of their surroundings. And now it's 1968, time to change.



Rock 'n' Roll by Tom Stoppard
******Rock 'n' Roll is a play by Czech-born British playwright Tom Stoppard that premiered 
at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2006.

Stoppard's new play about loyalty, compromise, love and music is given its first radio 
production as part of BBC Radio's celebration of his work.
In 1968, Czech student Jan returns home 'to protect rock 'n' roll' from the Soviet tanks 
crushing the Prague Spring. Max, a Communist don in Cambridge, watches his ideology 
collapse until the Velvet revolution of 1990 allows student and master to meet again. 
The politics and music have changed, but have the people?

The play is concerned with the significance of rock and roll in the emergence of the democratic 
movement in Eastern Bloc Czechoslovakia between the Prague Spring of 1968 and the Velvet 
Revolution of 1989. Taking place at Cambridge University, England and in Prague, the play 
contrasts the attitudes of a young Czech Ph.D student and rock music fan who becomes appalled 
by the repressive regime in his home country with those of his British Marxist professor who 
unrepentantly continues to believe in the Soviet ideal.

The play takes place over several decades from the late 1960s until 1990, ending with a concert 
given by The Rolling Stones that year in Prague. Recurrent references are made to a glimpse by 
one of the main characters of the young Syd Barrett performing Golden Hair. Barrett's physical 
and mental decline also plays a role in the drama (Barrett in fact died during the play's run). 
The underground Czech group The Plastic People of the Universe are held up as an ideal of 
resistance to Communism by another character. The poetry of Sappho is another recurrent motif; 
its pagan sensualism is implicitly compared with the anarchic erotic force of Rock music.

This play is one of several works in Stoppard's oeuvre concerned with artistic dissent against 
the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia: Dogg's Hamlet, Cahoot's Macbeth also concerns this, 
and does Every Good Boy Deserves Favour and Professional Foul.

The premiere of the play was attended by first president of the post-Communist Czech Republic 
and leading figure of the Velvet Revolution, Václav Havel (a friend of Stoppard's) and rock star 
Mick Jagger, whose band, The Rolling Stones features in the final scene of the play (and who has 
also previously worked with Stoppard, having produced the film Enigma, for which Stoppard wrote 
the screenplay, and who, along with his production company Jagged Films, has "approached" Stoppard 
"for the movie rights" to the play Rock 'n' Roll.

One episode of approximately two hours and twenty minutes.

A Bird, A Heart, A Bicycle by Peter Roberts 
******broadcast on the centenary of the first powered flight. In December 1903, according to the history books, 
the Wright Brothers were the first men to achieve powered flight when their primitive plane took off over the 
dunes at Kitty Hawk. This comedy, by Peter Roberts, looks at the activities of three eccentrics: a minor 
aristocrat named Walsh, who possibly beat them to it, Otto Lilienthal, who built an artificial hill in Berlin 
from which to launch gliders; and Hiram Maxim, the machine gun inventor convinced he had found the secret of flight. 


A Chaste Maid in Cheapside by Thomas Middleton
******There can be few plays that better warrant the description of bodice-ripping. 
A Chaste Maid In Cheapside positively heaves with copulating couples in the throes 
of passion for lust, avarice, status – anything frankly except love itself. 
Corsets heave, wine flows and, amidst the hell-raising hedonism, the evocatively-named 
Sir Walter Whorehousend (Angus King) sizes up his next conquest.
She is the pretty and principled Moll Yellowhammer (Jessica Ellerby) who only has eyes 
for the penniless but chivalrous Touchwood Junior (Sandy Bachelor).
Theirs is seemingly the only relationship of virtue in Middleton’s sneering portrayal of a decadent 
and licentious 17th Century London – like a Hogarth painting lived out on stage.

Uncle Varick and his niece Shona have been running the estate, farm and the brewery for the 
benefit of Varick's brother in law, the literary critic and TV pundit Sandy Sheridan. When Sandy 
decides to retire to the estate with his young wife Elaine, their presence throws the lives of the 
inhabitants into disarray. Uncle Varick is desperate having, he believes, surrendered his chance
