A Sad Pavan for These Distracted Times

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by Robert Ferguson
with Robin Bailey as the Captain

A tale told by a captain, a soldier's tale, confused in the telling both in terms of incident and time. It touches upon some minor themes such as life, love, death, obsession, inspiration, beauty and, possibly, truth. Important is the need to smoke the ritual cigar.
