A Bright Deformity

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

with Anne Louise Lambert as Lady Byron, Patience Tomlinson as Ada and Imelda Staunton as Medora

Lord Byron always feared that his children would inherit his club foot but doesn't seem to have been anxious about more spiritual flaws. In fact, his most malign legacies were his reputation and the bitter humiliation of his wife. Norma Rowen traces the corrosive effects of his influence on the lives of Lady Byron, her daughter Ada, and Medora Leigh, rumoured to be Byron's daughter by his half-sister Augusta.
(Repeated: Thurs 11.0 am)
(Anne Louise Lambert and Imelda Staunton are National Theatre players)
