Lit.: anonym: Cymbeline. Drama on 3. In web BBC Radio 3, (článek). – Cit.: Shakespeare’s exhilarating late play of lovers under strain and leaders under pressure. Staged in an alternative present-day Britain.

An ineffectual ruler governs a divided, insular Britain, alienated from the rest of Europe. That ruler, Cymbeline (Michael Maloney), refuses to pay the taxes demanded by a foreign power, clinging to mythical notions of sovereignty. „Britain’s a world by itself and we will nothing pay for wearing our own noses.“ But Cymbeline’s judgement is clouded by grief, having lost his two older children as babies. When his daughter Imogen (Lydia Wilson) rebels and marries boyfriend Posthumus (Daniel Rock) in secret, Cymbeline is enraged and banishes Posthumus. But waiting in the wings is a power-hungry figure, plotting to seize control by any means necessary. (…)

Lit.: anonym: From Morning to Midnight. Drama on 3. In web BBC Radio 3, září 2024 (článek). – Cit.: In this new, adventurous adaptation of Georg Kaiser’s classic Expressionist play, we follow the everyman Clerk, played by Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, who turns his back on the daily grind to leap instead into a nerve-jangling search for what life has to offer.

Set in the febrile modernity of pre-WWI Germany, the story begins in the hushed lobby of a bank in 1912. Emboldened by a chance brush with a glamorous woman, the normally docile bank clerk steals sixty thousand marks, and runs. That, it turns out, was naive – she doesn’t want him or his money. Which leaves him with the question: how much life can he buy before the authorities catch up with him?

The soundscape immerses listeners in the kaleidoscopic disorientating whirl of the clerk’s frenzied dash through Berlin’s bustling backstreets, luxury hotels and velodromes. With a fortune burning a hole in his pocket, he turns one by one to art, family, social revolution and sensuous excess in search of the thrill he feels life owes him. But, with so much wagered, when things go wrong, they go badly wrong.

His journey is a series of existential epiphanies and farcical misdemeanours, culminating in a Salvation Army Hall where his last hopes for redemption are dashed in a dramatic, money-scattering climax.

‘From Morning to Midnight’ is an intoxicating audio experience that blends thriller, farce and existential drama into a timeless tale of human hope and vulnerability. Driven by an intolerable existential itch, the clerk gives vivid life to our most dangerous dreams.

Kaiser’s play premiered in 1917 after a five-year ban for unspecified reasons, It was, it seems, simply too fearless. Since then, with such luminaries as Brecht and Marlene Dietrich declaring themselves fans of its author, it has become a cornerstone of modern European drama. This radio adaptation captures the essence of Kaiser’s work like never before.

Translated, adapted and directed by Simon Scardifield, produced by Charlotte Melén and Saskia Black of Almost Tangible. (…) An Almost Tangible production for BBC Radio 3.

Lit.: anonym: Star. Drama on 3. In web BBC Radio 3, listopad 2024 (článek). – Cit.: Compelling drama from Sarah Wooley about the making of the movie ‚A Star Is Born‘, Judy Garland’s 1950s comeback bid.

1952. Judy Garland, let go by MGM for her erratic behaviour, is determined to make a comeback. She and soon-to-be husband Sid Luft start their own production company and get the rights to remake classic 30s film ‚A Star Is Born‘ as a musical. This time, they will be in control.

Who better to write the music than Judy’s lifelong friend Harold Arlen, the composer of her biggest hit ‚Over the Rainbow‘? Arlen was responsible for some of the most famous songs in the world: ‚It’s Only a Paper Moon‘, ‚Stormy Weather‘, ‚That Old Black Magic‘ – he sound-tracked the first half of the twentieth century. He recruits Ira Gershwin to write the lyrics and everyone gets to work.

But Judy’s demons are never far away, and everyone has underestimated the power of the Hollywood machine…

This is a story about love, friendship and struggle, set against the backdrop of McCarthy’s America, where loyalty has become a complicated thing and compassion is in short supply.
