BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by J. M. SYNGE : adapted for radio by w. R. RODGERS with Siobhan McKenna
Eamenn Keane , Liam Redmond Milo O'Shea , Anna Manahan and Jack Cunningham
Greatness is about to begin. In a little room
Men will walk and talk like
Kings for a while
And explore
The wide and windy acres of u?ords.
A country girl u-ill comport herself in the style of a Queen of note,
A penny potboy take on the golden tongue of a poet.
(W. R. Rodgers)
Opening narration by PATRICIA LEVENTON and ALLAN MCCLELLAND
Produced by RONALD MASON
