A satirical comedy about censorship, by Karim Alrawi. "Though this may seem strange," says the author, "most of what is in Genie and the Playwright is actually what happened to me after the Egyptian theatre censor banned a play of mine. All have done is bring out some of the idiotic implications of what happened to me. And the Genie? Well, there's always one popping in and out of a writer's head."

Presented by George Guest. Gounod Mors et Vita
Written for the Birmingham Festival, this massive oratorio follows the spiritual journey from death through judgment to life. With such a vast array of orchestral colours, exciting spatial effects and one of Gounod's finest melodies - the famous
Judex - the work deserves to be recognised as one of the "grandest gestures in 19th-century religious experiences".
In tonight's programme, George Guest talks to
Richard Langham Smith about one of the most controversial figures in Victorian musical life.
