or The School for Fathers by Isaac Bickerstaffe adapted for broadcasting by Raymond Raikes with music by CHARLES DIBDIN orchestrated and edited by Roger Fiske
In this radio production of a play first produced at Covent Garden in 1768 and revived at Drury Lane in 1770. the Italian airs of the period, which were interpolated, have been omitted, so that we are left with an 18th-century English ' musical.' Listeners may be interested to know that two members of the radio cast, Peter Pratt and Marion Grimaldi. will also be appearing in ' Lionel and Clarissa ' from June 22 at the newly opened Yvonne Arnaud Theatre at Guildford.
The action takes place in the houses of Colonel Oldboy and Sir John Flowerdale, neighbours in the country: summer of the year 1767.
