A new production, directed by Peter Hall, of George Bernard Shaw's masterpiece of language and comic invention, which was the first play to be broadcast on the Third Programme.
Starring Ralph Fiennes, Juliet Stevenson, Judi Dench, Paul Merton and John Wood.
First staged in its full-length version in 1905, Shaw's play inverts the Don Juan legend: the rapacious hunter becomes the prey, in an exploration of the role of the artist, the place of women in society, and the "Life Force".
Narration by Niall Buggy

Including, during the intervals,
8.15-8.25, 10.25-10.30 excerpts from Mozart's Don Giovanni arr by Josef Triebensee for wind octet and played by the Athena Ensemble.
