Prolific Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard would have been 70 this year. The author's works include Frost, The Lime
Works, Cutting Timber, The Voice Imitator, and Extinction, as well as a powerful autobiography, Gathering Evidence. His unhappy family life, ill-health and disturbed wartime upbringing in Salzburg resulted in a dark, often painfully intense vision that upset many readers in his lifetime. With the help of some of Thomas Bernhard 's many friends, collaborators and critics, Peter Kislinger examines the enduring legacy of Bernhard's novels, plays and poetry.

By Amanda Dalton, Alison Fell and Bernadine Evaristo.
A radio version of Wilson Wilson Company's Mapping the Edge, adapted by Amanda Dalton. It is a poetic story of three women: Mildred from Greece, who served in the WAAF in the Second World War, Nadia from Yemen, and Maddy, a teenager from the hilIs, takes place in unexpected places in Sheffield and pieces together the three lives and three songs of loss and love, each echoing the classical story of Medea.
Music by Kaljit Bhamra. Directed by Susan Roberts
