THE DUKE IN THE DUNGEON

RANCE at the time of the civil wars in the 16th Century is the setting for The Duke in Darkness, a play by Patrick Hamilton to be heard from YC stations during the coming fortnight. For 15 years the Duke of. Laterraine has shared imprisonment with a former servant, Gribaud, who is now losing his reason. While pretending he-is blind, the Duke has been working on a plot to escape. With so much at stake what is he to make of the claims of a servant of his captors that he is in touch with the Duke’s friends outside? What is to be done with the faithful but now demented Gribaud if the Duke is to get safely away? In this moving play, produced by Bernard Beeby for the NZBS, the part of the Duke is taken by Roy Leywood, and Gribaud by William Austin. The Duke in Darkness will be heard from 4YC on August 31, 3YC on September 4, 2YC on September 5, and 1YC on September 11.
