Death in Trieste

on BBC Radio 3

by Frederic Raphael

A classics schoolmaster takes his annual holiday in Italy, which brings back memories, hopes, disappointments....
with John Bennett as Narrator and Norman Rodway as Gilbert Sage
'An elegy both for greatness and for pettiness, a tribute to scholarship and to its counterparts, a comic reading of tragedy, a tragic reading of comedy, a lament and a celebration of a classic case.'

(Norman Rodway is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company)
