Written by DoRis KER with Martin Jarvis as Shelley and Gary Watson as Narrator
Percy Bysshe Shelley was bom in 1792 and died tragically in a storm off the Italian coast at the age of 30. From his early days at Eton until his death he retained a reputation for rebellion and rebellious acts and statements which shocked all England.
' I am a devoted enemy of religious, political and domestic tyranny ' was his credo, and stubbornly - often selfishly - he forced his friends and those in his family circle to follow the same course. The results were almost always tragic and frequently ludicrous. with the voices of BETTY HASKCOMB

DAVID GOODERSON , SHEILA GRANT CORINNA MARLOWE , JOHN ROWE Producer MAURICE LEITCH
