| Description |
A radio adaptation of Jean Anouilh's play Eurydice, adapted for broadcasting by Raymond Raikes. In Anouilh's modern verison, Orphee is an itinerant musician, Eurydice a third-rate actress. Both are searching pathetically for a purity of spirit which, in life, seems beyond their reach. They meet on a railway station and fall in love. But Eurydice cannot escape her past; she flees in shame from the purity of her love with Orphee, and Death's emissary, in the shape of M. Henri, a commercial traveller, takes her. |
