LETTER TO ROME

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Paul Woodruff adapted for radio by COLIN TUCKER
Music by JOHN LAMBERT
A panorama of the life of the second Roman Emperor. ranging from his innocent idealistic twenty-fourth year to his depraved disillusioned seventy-ninth year, and his fifty-third, when in a letter to the Senate he disposes of his loyal friend. Its nine scenes are arranged out of chronological order so that the effect of political and personal machinations becomes clear before their origins and motives. with Nigel Stock as the Emperor Tiberius
Produced by H. B. FORTUIN
Nigel Stock Is in 'Mixed Doubles' at the Comedy Theatre. London
