Drama Up to Now

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Performance Drama John Russell Brown presents the fourth of eight programmes on drama in Britain since the war.
Some dramatists seek to confront audiences; others see their primary role as to entertain, and write with a keen sense of the pleasures of performance.
JOHN RUSSELL BROWN considers three dramatists - Peter Nichols , Peter Shaffer and Tom Stoppard - and a theatre director, Joan Littlewood , who have done much to entertain post-war British theatre audiences.
