Drama Now: The Evening is Calm

on BBC Radio 3

Paal Brekke's poem sequences, adapted for radio by Gerhard Knoop, and translated from the Norwegian by Ian Rodger with Sybil Thorndike as Tilde Lund. Eventide Home.
Where the evenings are calm and the pills rattle.
And a beautiful setting sun smiles down on the home at dusk.
In heavenly peace, old children, taking care of each other's hands.
Squinting into the light, pious in their churchgoing clothes.
