A play for broadcasting by David Yates Mason and David Farrer
Music by Geoffrey Wright
The Players
The BBC Augmented Variety
Orchestra
Conducted by Jack Beaver
The action takes place on board a yacht off Gibraltar, and on the rock itself
The music for ' The Picnic' and ' Europa Point' orchestrated by Jack Beaver
Both plays produced by Archie Campbell
(' The Picnic ' and ' Europa Point' will be broadcast again on Thursday:
Regional, 9.0)
Many listeners will remember A Ship in the Bay, a nautical musical comedy written by David Yates Mason and broadcast last summer. Now David Yates Mason , on the strength of his knowledge of Gibraltar, which he gained on a spring cruise on H.M.S. Royal Oak as a naval rating in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, has collaborated with David Farrer in writing something more ambitious.
Europa Point is an impression of Gibraltar by night, and tells of the whim of a rich girl who left her yacht before sailing to the States to marry an American. What her impulse led to, how it affected her, and how it affected a British sailor she met, is vividly described in this telling and impressionistic little play.
Geoffrey Wright , who also wrote the music for A Ship in the Bay, is responsible for the music in The Gate Revue now running at the Ambassadors Theatre.
