Golovlovo

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by JACK WINTER based on the novel
The Golovlev Family by M.E. SALTYKOV SHCHEDRIN (1826-89) with and nicknamed 'Bloodsucker Judas Golovlovo is a family chronicle tracing the disintegration of three generations of land-owning gentry, before and after the emancipation of the serfs in 1861. In this trenchant satire on a rotting society, Saltykov is concerned not with economic decline, but with moral decay. The space vacated by human values and natural affection is soon invaded by hypocrisy, envy, fear and greed.
Directed by JOHN THEOCHARIS
