World Theatre
"THE role of Adolf, the Captain, in Strindberg’s tragedy The Father, has always been acknowledged as a supreme acting part. That fact has, indeed, been the proved downfall of many stage productions of the play, where the part has been allowed to become greater than the whole. The true test of the production is the manner in which the character of the Captain. is kept in its proper relationship with that of his wife Laura, who deliberately goads him to madness and death by her cunning, unscrupulous behaviour. Listeners will be able to judge for themselves how actors and producer have preserved the balance in the BBC World Theatre. version of the play. It will be broadcast from 4YC at 8.0 p.m. on Thursday, February 4, 3YC at 8.30 p.m. on Saturday, February 6, 1YC at 7.12 p.m. and 2YC at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, February, 7. The Father was arranged and produced for broadcasting by E. A. Harding from an English version by Max Faber.
