By John Fletcher. A trilogy of plays commissioned by BBC Radio 3. Writer John Fletcher 's proposal is to find a means of exploring dramatically the idea that the one thing above all others that frees human beings is language. He believes that words free people through the ideas they unleash and inspire free men to act. 1: Greece versus Persia. The first play is set in Greece when Aeschylus was a young man, witnessing the sacking of Athens by the Persians.
Music by Nina Humphreys. Director Beeban Kidron
Producer Marilyn Imrie. Continues tomorrow 6.30pm
