Ralph Richardson and John Gielgud in Arms and the Man by BERNARD SHAW
(died 2 November 1959) with Vanessa Redgrave and Judi Dench
A fleeing soldier who would rather carry chocolates than ammunition takes refuge in a young lady's bedroom.
Producer CEDRIC MESSINA followed by The Voice of Bernard Shaw
Some amusing, entertaining, and perhaps more serious moments taken from the many broadcasts given by the Irish dramatist.
(Saint Joan: Radio 3 6.30 pm; I Loathe Being Called George: Thursday Radio 4 8.0 pm)
