A Dunsany Night: Fame and the Poet

on 5WA Cardiff

View in Radio Times

A Play in One Act by Lord Dunsany.
Played by The Station Radio Players
Scene - The poet's rooms in London.

Dick Prattle returns from the ends of the earth and finds his old schoolfellow, Harry de Reves, not much changed. Papers litter the floor and Prattle says that they remind him of Harry's room at Eton. But these papers are poems placed before an altar of Greek design and dedicated to Fame - 'the same that Homer knew.'
