or My Dad's a Great Man English premiere of JEAN ANOUILH 'S play
Translated by LUCIENNE HILL Adapted for stereo by RAYMOND RAIKES with Alec McCowen ,
John Shrapnel and Prunella Scales
Anouilh himself once described this play as ' an odd, outlandish piece'; and in a programme note, written in 1970, he warns his audience that whereas some of the action takes place in Brittany near the seaside on 14 July 1960 precisely, certain scenes occur only in the author's imagination where Time does not exist. He once thought of calling this play ' Les Mis£rables ' but not quite in the Victor Hugo sense - may we translate it on this occasion as ' The Proletariat '?
