Disappearance of a Physicist
The enquiry by LEONARDO SCIASCIA , translated and adapted by GABRIEL josipovici and SACHA RABINOVITCH
' The dead get found; it is the living who can disappear.'
With Peter Jeffrey as Sciascia Tim Woodward as Ettore Majorana and CYRIL SHAPS , JOHN RYT , MALCOLM HAYES , GEORGE PARSONS , JOHN LIVESEY , MARGARET ROBERTSON ,
PAULINE LETTS ,
GIANCARLO CICCONE , ENRICO VERDECCHIA and ANNA MARIA GRECAS
In 1938 the Sicilian Ettore Majorana left suicide notes, caught the steamer from Naples for Palermo and disappeared. Aged 32, he was one of the very few physicists left in Italy and Germany capable of solving the problems of nuclear fission. Investigating the episode 35 years later, Sciascia asked: Did he, really commit suicide, or did he foresee the possibility of an atom bomb in the hands of Mussolini and Hitler and choose to disappear? If so, where?
Musique concrete by ELIZABETH PARKER Of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Producer RICHARD KEEN
