Sunday Play: Soliman

on BBC Radio 3

by Ludwig Fels.
Vienna , 1796. The court painter has a commission from the Emperor to paint Angelo Soliman and - dead or alive - to capture his very essence. The fact that Angelo is black and that he has married a beautiful widow fuels the animosity of the court.
Although set in the 18th century, this startling play attacks the current issue of racism in Europe.
With James Telfer , Philip Anthony. Alastair Bird. Rebecca Weeks,
Anatole Pang and George Bradley. Music by Mia Soteriou
Translated and adapted for radio by Anthony Vivis
Director Jeremy Mortimer
