By Pedro Calderon de la Barca.

The birth of an heir to the Polish throne is accompanied by terrible omens, and he is banished to a dungeon. Thirty years later, the reunion of the ailing king and his brutalised, tormented son leads to a catastrophic struggle for power.
With Christopher Scott , Gerard McDermott and Chris Pavlo
Music by Mark Lawrence Director Cathryn Horn

Jan Fairley presents six programmes showing how Spanish popular music reflects the different cultures that coexist in the country, where the village is still central to musical life. Spain's history reaches far beyond its borders, and migrations over the centuries have introduced influences from Africa, the Americas, Cuba, Greece and Turkey.

Joseba Tapia and his band play trikitrixa. The rhythms of the key instruments - the diatonic accordion and pendereta - are immediately identifiable with the Basque country and language.
