(' II Paese delle Vacanze ')
An idyll by Ugo Betti
Translated from the Italian and adapted for radio by Henry Reed
(Continued in next column)
Produced by Donald McWhinnie
(The recorded broadcast of June 5)
Third Programme listeners will already know Ugo Betti as a serious writer. But Holiday Land is not at all serious; it is one of a group of three lively comedies first performed in the early years of the war. The action takes place in the country during a single afternoon.
