Les corbeaux

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

(The Scavengers) by HENRY BECQUE translated from the French by DAVID WALKER and adapted by ENYD WILLIAMS
Regarded as his masterpiece, this is a cynical study by the distinguished 19th-century French dramatist and critic: a dry and bitter observation of the behaviour of creditors and family alike when the patriarch is revealed to have died penniless.
