The Monday Play: The Fox in the Attic: 1: Rachel and the White Crow

on BBC Radio 4 FM

[The Fox in the Attic]
The first volume of the novel "The Human Predicament" by Richard Hughes, dramatised in two parts by Frederick Bradnum

Richard Hughes writes:
'The Human Predicament is conceived as a long historical novel of my own times culminating in the Second World War. The fictitious characters in the foreground are wholly fictitious. The historical characters and events are as accurately historical as I can make them.'

Michael Hordern as Narrator

Time: 1923

(Michael Hordern is a National Theatre player)
(Part 2: next Monday. Richard Hughes reads from vol 2 this Wednesday 10.40 pm Radio 3)
