The Seeing Ear
()NE of the most exciting things about listening to ballet music over the air is that it enables you to recreate a visual memory of the ballet itself. In the same way the NZBS production of Ladies in Retirement brought. back in almost exact detail a film I thought I had forgotten, and thus gave me a very vivid and rewarding listening experience. But what is legitimate in the case of ballet music is perhaps not so legitimate in the case of a radio play, which certainly deserves to lead an independent existence. Had I heard the play without seeing the film I’m sure I should still have found it most exciting. The fact that I could so easily superimpose this version on the fine film version suggests that our NZBS productions have reached a high standard in acting and direction.
