The Princess of the Island
A play for radio by DIANA MORGAN and PATRICK HAMPSHIRE based on the novel Phroso by ANTHONY HOPE with Barry Justice as Lord Oxleigh and Elizabeth Proud as ' Phroso '
The action takes place in London and on the Aegean island of Neopalia.
Glamour and high adventure are the essential ingredients of any Anthony Hope novel. When his story concerns the attempt by a young English peer to assert his ownership of a remote Greek island, against the will of its picturesque but hot-blooded inhabitants, the result is likely to prove both exciting - and romantic!
Music composed and piano played by GEOFFREY WRIGHT
Bouzouki player, ANDREAS TOUMAZI Greek supervisor NICHOLAS PHOCAS
Produced by ARCHIE CAMPBELL (Repeated: Monday, 3.0 pm)
