A Sense of Theatre

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

So I wish you first a Sense of theatre; only
Those who live illusions And know it will go far.
(Many Happy Returns -
W. H. AUDEN )
Patrick Garland , who has just completed his final season as Artistic Director of the Chichester Festival Theatre, discusses with Ronald Eyre his personal sense of theatre which has informed his work both on the stage and in television, ranging from one-man shows like Brief
Lives, through the early days of television's first arts programme, Monitor, to mammoth musicals like My
Fair Lady and Hair, which he staged in Israel; and the current revival of Alan Bennett 's 40 Years On. Producer JOHN POWELL
(A revised repeat of a Kaleidoscope production)
