A comedy by ALICK ROWE
Sony Radio Award winner for Best Use of Comedy With and Was the poor man gathering fuel really poor, and was he really a man - or was she a Slavnik spy in disguise? Was Wenceslas's tramp into the forest with his 10-year-old page carrying flesh and wine and logs just a public relations exercise? What is the true story behind the story of Good King Wenceslas?

by Michael Wall
Sony Radio Award winner for Actor for Edward Petherbridge as Best Actor for his performance as Charles Catchpole

With Eleanor Bron as the Princess Malvezzi and Greg Hicks as Jack Cody

She was the talk of Venice in the 1850s. She was captivating, effusive. But was she really dangerous? When the gondola arrived to take Charles Catchpole to the Princess Malvezzi, he had no idea that it would deliver him into a world of romance and political intrigue. As an artist he would rather stay an observer, hiding beneath his wide-brimmed hat.
