The Friday Play

on BBC Radio 3

1953 by Craig Raine. A version of Racine's Andromaque.
With Bob Peck Sarah Badel
Jonathan Hyde Jane Bertish
It is 1953: Britain and America have lost the war. Annette, the widow of Hector, Prince of Wales, has been handed to Mussolini's son
Vittorio as a spoil of war; while his marriage to the German Princess Ira has been arranged to bind the Axis closer together. But Vittorio is in love with Annette: and Ira's former lover, Klaus von Orestes, is now in Rome with an ultimatum from the Fuhrer.
Director Tim Suter
