The Sunday Play: The Libertine

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

By Stephen Jeffreys.
1675. London is a hothouse of gossip and intrigue, and at the centre of it all is John Wilmot , Earl of Rochester, poet, wit and Restoration hero. Regularly banished from the court of Charles II for excesses of every kind, his brilliant and sordid life embodied the spirit of the age.
Director Claire Grove
