AND CHORUS, JOHN ALLDIS CHOIR conducted by JASCHA HORENSTEIN Acts 1 and 2

P. M. Rattansi , Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science at University College, London, considers how the image of Newton, who died 250 years ago, has changed over the centuries. Voltaire saw Newton as an embodiment of rationality, but this Enlightenment view provoked a Romantic reaction. Nineteenth-century Positivists sought to refurbish the Voltairean picture while historians today are modifying our view of Newton yet again.

The background to the writing of Black Snow: Michael Glenny introduces this evening's play.

Black Snow by MIKHAIL BULGAKOV translated by MICHAEL GLENNY dramatised for radio by LIANE AUKIN
Black Snow chronicles, in thinly-disguised satirical form, Bulgakov's initial meeting with the legendary Stanislavsky of the Moscow Arts Theatre. It pokes brilliant fun at the inventor of ' the method ' and theatrical life in the Soviet Union in the 1920s, reaching toward a variation on the Faust theme.
Setting: Moscow Other parts played by: ELIZABETH HAVELOCK, KATHLEEN MICHAEL and PETER WHITMAN with CYRIL ROYALL (tenor)
