Dialogues for String Quartet on a theme of William Lawes composed and conducted by H. R. CHAPPELL and played by THE SIDNEY SAX QUARTET
Produced by RICHARD WORTLEY
Don Taylor says of his new Play for radio: 'A modern man sits in a small room with gun-fire outside. His curtains are drawn But his world and his conflicts are ours, and society answers his plea for artistic detachment in the most positive way. Whilst reading Andrew Marvell, his life and the poet's inter-act.
Marvell had two years of peace at Nunappleton House in Yorkshire. writing most of his greatest poetry whilst tutor to the daughter of General Fairfax. In 1650 the powerful General had retired prematurely from the Civil War. The play dramatises this period of Marvell's life, studying the forces of conscience and responsibility in the shape of the General, who relinquished his commitment and the poet who took it up.

by GEORGE STEINER 4: Tomorrow
In the last of his 1970 T. S. Eliot Memorial Lectures delivered earlier this month at the University of Kent, Dr Steiner moves on from description and analysis to consider what an adequate model of culture might be like. He examines what seems to him the central question of the role of the sciences in literacy, considers the new, problematic relationship of society and truth, and asks if we may have arrived at the last door in Bluebeard's castle, which we cannot open lest the consequences be entirely uncontrollable.
