Spokesong: Does a history of the bicycle sound a surprising way of looking at the changes in society since the turn of the century? It's Stewart Parker 's theme in his new musical play Spokesong - one of the most cheering pieces of work to have come out of Northern Ireland in recent years. The programme includes scenes from the show at the King's Head Theatre Club and an interview with the author.
At Home with Mole: Richard Goolden first played the part of Mole in Toad of Toad Hall in 1930. He lives in mole-like surroundings in Chelsea, where a lifetime's enthusiasm for music-hall, French poetry, interior decorating, famous murders etc has piled up around him. This short profile of the 81-year-old actor includes scenes from Toad of Toad Hall and Tom Stoppard 's Dirty Linen and New-Found-Land, in which he is appearing at the Arts Theatre.
