Crisp and Even Brightly A comedy by Alick Rowe
Was the poor man gathering fuel really poor, and was he really a man - or was she a Slavnik spy in disguise? Was Wenceslas's tramp into the forest with his 10-year-old page carrying flesh and wine and logs just a public relations exercise? What is the true story behind the story of Good King Wenceslas?
Andrew Christie (synthesiser) Directed by Shaun MacLoughlin BBC Bristol. Stereo
