as Richard Jefferies
A monologue of the writings of Richard Jefferies compiled and introduced by ROGER FRITH.
A portrait of a great prose poet and social philosopher. At Goring-by-Sea in the summer of 1887 Richard Jefferies lay dying of consumption. This programme is not only an attempt to recreate his thoughts at this time. but to show a man prepared to suffer a severer discipline than that he was then enduring, for the good of the human race in the future.
Incidental music composed and conducted by DAVID CAIN
Producer KEITH SLADE
