The Monday Play: Rowland

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Before his premature death last year, Tom Mallin turned his attention to a play with a historical setting. Though it is "not to be thought of as a documentary of the life of Doctor Rowland Taylor, martyr".
Rowland: Have you considered that your taking drink with me might be misconstrued? You are supping with the Devil's emissary. Ideally, you should be quaffing your ale from my scraped and empty skull.

(Repeated: Sunday 2.30, medium only)
