Talk by Flavia Kingscote
Even in a world where adventures are commonplace, Flavia Kingscote's story is an outstanding one. Suspected of being a fifth-columnist, she was ordered to be shot in Yugo-Slavia. She was later held under suspicion for two months by the Italians in Albania and Italy. Finally she did reach home, via Unoccupied France, Spain and Gibraltar and her story of this journey will be told among the other adventures she will describe.

by Offenbach. New English version and adaptation for broadcasting by Geoffrey Dunn
Scene : Army Headquarters near a village, and the Grand Ducal Palace. BBC Theatre Chorus. BBC Theatre Orchestra. Conductor, Stanford Robinson
Offenbach (1819-1880) was one of the leading composers of light opera during the nineteenth century, when it reached the peak of its vogue. This opera, The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein, which is concerned with a temperamental and head-strong lady who ' dotes on the military ', was first produced in 1867. Later, it found its way to London and enjoyed considerable popularity.
