Afternoon Theatre: The Lonely Conscience

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Lydia Ragosin
[Starring] John Moffat as James, Duke of York and Tony Britton as Charles II

When Charles II was restored to the throne of England, his brother's conversion to Catholicism and his own lack of a legitimate heir prompted his ambitious bastard son, Monmouth, and his Protestant supporters to rebel against the succession. James's inability to compromise over his new faith, and Charles's to believe in his son's treachery, provide the background to this sympathetic portrait of the last of the Stuart kings.
(John Moffat is appearing with the Lyric Theatre Company)
