Description Join the BBC Concert Orchestra for a free live recording of a new radio drama, Elizabeth and Essex, featuring Simon Russell Beale with a classic score by Hollywood composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex, was a nobleman and soldier - and a favourite of Elizabeth I. Elizabeth and Essex is inspired by the hugely successful 1939 film starring Bette Davis and Erol Flynn, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, and by Lytton Strachey's popular history, Elizabeth and Essex. The action will be accompanied by the glorious music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold in the atmospheric setting of Alexandra Palace Theatre.
