Radio Plays, 1942
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS....1942
By Louis MacNeice. Done to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the discovery of America. Music by William Walton; BBC orchestra and chorus, cast of 32 including Margaret Rawlings and Lawrence Olivier. This is a very theatrical production, and the text was published by Faber & Faber. (remarks by ND - I tried to listen to this, but found the style too stilted to enjoy and gave up after 15 minutes)
