Pilgrim's Way

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

IN THESE difficult and complex modem days Man's moods are perhaps more subtle and varied than they have ever been before; and yet, fundamentally, he remains the same being as in the old Morality play Everyman, in which allegorical portrait of themselves our mediaeval forebears were shown their own likeness-a figure emotionally reacting to temptations and so forth, that were depicted as symbolical beings around Everyman on the stage.
In this new series of broadcasts, which begins tonight and will be continued each second Sunday of the month throughout the year, listeners are to be shown, in much the same way, an allegorical reflection of themselves under the guise and title of the Pilgrim journeying through life. Prose and poetry and music will be selected to delineate various moods and phases; the first broadcast-tonight-being the mood of Hope ; the second, of Faith; the third, of Joy.
