The Marquis of Keith

on BBC Radio 3

A tragicomedy by FRANK WEDEKIND translated from the German by ANTHONY VIVIS with Alan Howard and Robert Eddison
Frank Wedekind (1864-1918) is being increasingly recognised as one of the creators of modern drama and a powerful influence on playwrights like Brecht. Frisch and Durrenmatt. The Marquis of Keith, which dates from 1899, is one of his most important plays in which Wedekind confronts two basic character types: a Don Quixote of immorality and a Don Quixote of decency.
Other parts: KATHERINE PARR and STEPHANIE TURNER
Producer MARTIN ESSLIN
(Alan Howard is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Co)
