A season of six ground-breaking plays to mark the 50th anniversary of the English Stage Company at the Royal Court Theatre continues with Edward Bond 's comedy, set in 1907. A young man drowns off the east coast of England. For some this is a simple tragedy; for others, a sign that aliens are invading. Madness and amateur dramatics compete in this rnmpriv set on the oath to redemption.

In 50 years, the Queen has undertaken more than 250 official overseas visits to 128 countries. The modern tours, invented by politicians in the early 1900's to cement the Empire and the Commonwealth, have become one of the principle justifications for the monarchy's existence. At the same time they have provided the stage for some of the royals' most public dramas. Denys Blakeway weaves through the archive and discusses the set-up, significance and impact of the Royal Tour.

(The Queen at 80 season continues Monday-Friday at 9.45am/10.45pm with The Queen at 80: the Biographer's View.)
