Afternoon Theatre Selected for Friday: William the Conqueror

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by RUDYARD KIPLING adapted for radio by A. R. RAWLINSON
Famine is still the scourge of India, as it has been since time immemorial. As a ' cub ' reporter in the days of the Raj, Rudyard Kipling personally experienced Famine Relief work, and in this play he has used his experience to provide the vividly contrasting background to the love-story of Scott and his ' William.' It is a very English love-story, true to its period in the 1890s when Victorian ethics and convention ruled supreme.
Produced by DAVID DAVIS
