"Going beyond biography,
Donald Dewey captures the wistful America of the 1940s
and '50s and the screen icon who symbolized it.With polished
ease and impeccable pacing,
Parker brings listeners into each chapter and onto each
movie set to glimpse Hollywood's inner
workings. Parker narrates with the same casual yet focused
flair that characterized Stewart's
acting style. In this way, Parker lends an instant comfort
and intimacy to the text and its subject,
while giving Dewey's writing center stage to engage and
captivate the listener."AudioFile |

BBC radio has a unique
heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the
newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play,
generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected
the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard.
Love, bigotry, greed and justice are entwined in this clear,
fast-moving production, where the precision of radio gives
added resonance to the powerful words of the trial scene. |

Sheila Hancock stars in a BBC
Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of E. M. Forster’s glorious
tale of love in Italy and England.
Lucy Honeychurch is an innocent abroad. Under the care of
her well-meaning but infuriating chaperon, cousin Charlotte,
she is completing the final part of a conventional well-bred
English upbringing - the Grand Tour. But the sensual
atmosphere of the Florentine countryside exercises a strange
power over Lucy’s half-formed and untested character, as do
her fellow guests at the Pension Bertolini.

By the time Shakespeare came to write Macbeth - almost
certainly in 1605/1606 - he had already completed three of
the great tragedies with which modern audiences are so
familiar: Hamlet (1601), Othello (1603) and King Lear
(1605).
Each of those plays gives us an eponymous hero who is in
some significant way flawed, but for whom we also inevitably
feel deep sympathy, whatever his errors or crimes. But in
Macbeth Shakespeare has chosen for his tragic hero a man
guilty of the most terrible crime imaginable to a Jacobean
audience, that of regicide - the murder of a king.Online Bingo
