By D.J. Britton.

Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia was the most admired prose work in English literature for 200 years, inspiring both Shakespeare and Spenser with its romantic tales. D.J. Britton's new play interweaves the story of Prince Pyrocles's quest for love and honour with the tempestuous life of Sidney himself, a poet who became a national hero.

Britten's recording of Purcell's The Fairy Queen and settings of poems by Auden. Britten Choral Dances (Glohana)
