When Paris comes to claim his prize, Helen welcomes the situation as her 'destiny.' Only on obstacle remains - her husband, King Menelaus.

HANS LEYGRAF (piano)
Ϯ by JOHN HOLLOWAY
Taking: as his point of departure the Poem The Seren Sages, Dr. Holloway examines the influence upon W. B. Yeats of the poetry and politics of eighteenth-century Ireland.
The Flame is centred on the conflict between two women: one intelligent, brilliant, apparently hard, driven by a terrible malice; the other apparently safe in her position with husband and child, yet tormented by the premature death of a child. The action is concerned with the relationship between the two, and the power of evil generated in each by the other.
Children from the King Alfred School, Golders Green.
Special sound by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Timothy West is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Company
