8.45 Stravinsky The Rite of Spring

by Michael Wall.
A "radio road movie" with Toyah Wilcox as Yuka and Jeremy Flynn as Boy.

Boy claims that he was driving before he could walk, but perhaps he's been on the road so long it just feels that way. Driving with Yuka, picking things up from lost cities and knocking no-hopers off the road. But then something starts to happen. Boy starts using new words and it takes a handshake from his mother to get him back on the rails.
This play, by the late author of Hiroshima: the Movie, Amongst Barbarians and Women Laughing, was recorded in 1986 but has never been broadcast until now. With its bold use of sound and soundtrack, it is well suited to the experimentally-inclined Studio Three.
Music by David Chilton and Mia Soteriou
Director Jeremy Mortimer

Miles Kington introduces the last of three programmes from this year's festival, which includes Savourna Stevenson - a harpist from the Borders - playing her own folk and jazz-influenced compositions, recorded at the Holburne Museum. And, from the USA, Clarence Fountain and the Five Blind Boys of Alabama, who brought the audience at the Forum to their feet with their uplifting gospel music.
