Conductor, Sir Adrian Boult The Fairy Queen is an anonymous adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream in which Purcell showed his independent spirit by not setting one word of the original Shakespeare to music. It was produced in 1692 but the score was lost in 1700 and despite a reward of twenty pounds for its discovery it remained lost until it was rather embarrassingly found in 1901 in the library of the Royal Academy of Music.
A shortened version for broadcasting of a Yorkshire farcical comedy by J. B. Priestley
The action takes place in the sitting-room of Alderman Helliwell's house in Clecklewyke, a town in the West Riding, on an evening about thirty years ago
Produced by Barbara Burnham
There was never a play more saturated with genuine West Riding character than this comedy by a great West Riding playwright. Three local worthies, pillars \ of the local chapel, one an alderman, another a town councillor, all of them aggressively plain-spoken and unconsciously funny, celebrate with their spouses twenty-one years of marriage, and suddenly discover they have never been married at all!
The situation may be farcical, but the people and their reactions are real enough, as anyone who lived in the West Riding thirty years ago will delightedly testify. In Ormonroyd, the drunken Press photographer, Priestley (who played the part at the outset of the successful London run) has created a rare clown in the true Falstaff tradition.
