Louis MacNeice

Lu par Colin Morgan

(5 étoiles; 1 critique)

Colin Morgan reads Louis MacNeice's poetic testament of life in 1938, written against the turbulent backdrop of the Munich Agreement, the fall of Barcelona, and Britain's preparations for an inevitable war. Introduced by poet Colette Bryce and interwoven with archive news reports from the era, this production offers a unique listening experience.

Produced by Emma Harding for Drama on 3, this adaptation of Autumn Journal was first broadcast on December 4, 2016, as part of BBC Radio 3's 70th season. The poem, written in a discursive form, records the author's state of mind as the approach of World War II looms ever closer.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
