Prefaces to Shakespeare

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Sir Michael Redgrave gives the first talk introducing this winter's season of Shakespeare's plays on BBC2
Henry IV, Part 1
' think one of the driving forces of this play is that Shakespeare takes both sides - that of Prince Hal and that of Hotspur - and by taking both sides he's able to show how ephemeral political loyalties can be and were.'
Series producer ALAN WILDING iNext Friday: Anthony Quayle on Henry IV, Part 2; Part 1 is shown on BBC2 on Sunday)
