A new radio version by ALASTAIR SCOTT JOHNSTON
Introduced by John Palmer
The Land of Smiles is set partly in Vienna and partly in the old Imperial China - the land of smiles of the title-exotic and lovely, but vicious and cruel.
The story is concerned with an eternal problem: can true love overcome the frictions of two violently opposed ways of life? Or must the deep-rooted traditional prejudices of both inevitably lead to tragedy? It is the story of two people who tried to bridge the gap between East and West.
