The Wizard Who Worked Wonders translated and freely adapted by DAVID TURNER from El Mdoico Prodiaioso by PEDRO CALDER6N DE LA BARCA (1600-81) with David Buck Lisa Harrow
Patrick Troughton and Lockwood West
Written two years after his most famous play Life is a Dream,
Calderón's version of the Faust legend portrays a complex view of religion, morality, nobility and contrasting peasant realism. In spite of its superficial setting in third century Antioch, the attitudes and characters are pure 17th-century Spanish. Cyprian sells his soul to the Devil in exchange for magical knowledge, but Satan in the end is powerless against his adversaries' faith and free will.
With MICHAEL TUDOR BARNES
MARY WIMBUSH and MICHAEL COLDIE
Incidental music composed and conducted by DAVID CAIN and played by THE PRAETORIUS CONSORT
Director CHRISTOPHER BALL OOREEN WALKER (contralto) Special effects hy the BBC Radiophonic Workshop directed by MARGARET ETALL (First broadcast on R3)
