Master Sunshine by PETER RUSSELL
' Beyond this great house and the broad acres surrounding it there are mean little dwellings and those that live in them work very hard, and their lives are passed in terrible misery and they become brutish. But there are those who remain good and they will go to heaven with you and me, and that is a wonderful consolation to them.' The action takes place in the years before the First World War with Producer BETTY DAVIES

An investigation by Peter France
Four hundred people wait on a hill for dawn on Midsummer Day ... 12,000 annually make a pilgrimage to a ruined monastery ... Others wait for the New Albion promised by the legends surrounding King Arthur....
No place in Britain is richer in myth and legend than Glastonbury. Did Joseph of Arimathea bring the Holy Grail here? Did King Arthur hold court here? Is the Tor the centre of Zodiacal signs which give it unseen power?
Peter France talks to people involved in all these questions and asks literary scholars, archaeologists, clergy and a professor of social psychology why Glastonbury has such power to satisfy so many and conflicting needs and outlooks. Producer PETER FIRTH (Bristol)
Arthur, Avalon and Sedgemoor: Monday 9.30 pm Radio 3. Sages on the Tor: page 4
