This is the third in the series of famous trials which was inaugurated by Peter Creswell's production of "The King's Tryall" in February, and made for something entirely new in radio drama. Howard Rose produced "Simon Lord Lovat" in May, and tonight Lance Sieveking is to produce "Richard Hathaway".

Again, nothing in the way of fiction has been added to historical fact, the dialogue and so forth being based on authenticated documents. It is apparent that the microphone technique of a static happening like a trial must differ altogether from that of the usual type of play in which there is a good deal of movement. Lord Chief Justice Holt, who presides over the trial, will be seated immediately under the microphone in order to be in the foreground of the listening auditorium, and listeners will be, so to speak, just behind his elbow and will hear the trial from exactly the same position as he will.

Dealing as it does with witchcraft, this trial has a special interest and fascination, and its historical truth gives reality that no fiction could supply. The engagement of Nicholas Hannen for the role of the Lord Chief Justice is good news. This distinguished West End actor comes far too seldom to the microphone.

The fourth trial in the series is to be that of Admiral Byng, and it is to be produced by Val Gielgud the first week in December.

('Richard Hathaway' was broadcast in the Regional Programme last night.)
