The Waltz of the Toreadors by JEAN ANOUILH translated by LUCIENNE HILL , starring
Stephen Murray (1812-83) as General Léon de Saint Pé with Andre Morell Beatrix Lehmann
Margaret Rawlings and Trader Faulkner
The distinguished actor STEPHEN MURRAY died on 31 March. As a tribute
Radio 4 is repeating this play about an ageing general who lacks the courage to say ' yes' to life. but yet has ' a young man's heart waiting to give his all '.
This is one of Anoullh's most enduring plays - comic, bizarre, tender and lyrical by turns.
Music by JOHN HOTCHKIS Directed by JOHN POWELL (First broadcast in 1969)
