Multi award winning actor John Hurt, whose numerous definitive roles have included Quentin Crisp in The Naked Civil Servant and John Merrick in The Elephant Man says:“My reason for doing The Alan Clark Diaries is that I’ve always enjoyed playing individuals and you can’t get more individual than Alan Clark.” With his irreverent wit, aristocratic good looks and rakish charm,Alan Clark was one of the most colourful figures in modern politics. Love him – or love to hate him – his vibrant, unconventional style sent a blast of fresh air through the stuffy corridors of power, adding a dazzling touch of glamour to politics. Forever manoeuvring his way to the top, he never fulfilled his ambition to be in the Cabinet.Yet he was an influential figure on the political landscape and a man who, more often to the Government’s despair than to its delight, was never long out of the public eye. Hailed as a modern-day Pepys, Clark wormed his way into the public’s affection through his diaries and their withering, often hilarious observations of high Tories,low morals, political back biting and Cabinet inertia. Set in a pre New Labour world of rural castles and Albany chambers, the diaries are part swansong for a time when Conservatives ruled Britannia and Etonians ran the country, and part insight into the psychology of a man born with a whole silver canteen in his mouth. A strong supporting cast includes Jenny Agutter (Spooks) as Clark’s wife Jane,Victoria Smurfit (Trial And Retribution,About A Boy) as Clark’s secret mistress,‘X’, and Julia Davis (Human Remains) as Jenny Easterbrook, Clark’s frosty secretary. 2 www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour 3 DP1226 BBC 4 WINTER 11/24/03 4:23 PM Page 6 The Death of Indira Gandhi Dinner with Portillo Indira Gandhi rose at dawn on 31 October 1984.

Ahead of the announcement of the full programme of BFT’s 15th anniversary celebrations, and in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the company will open up its digital archive to make 24 acclaimed stage productions free to watch online, alongside the launch of a new fairy-tale-inspired campaign: #LoveOverVirus 15 YEARS OF THEATRICAL HIGHLIGHTS FREE TO WATCH ONLINE Belarus Free Theatre began 15 years ago this week – on 30 March 2005 – in Minsk under Europe's last surviving dictatorship.

    Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:41 28 September 2016 Thatcher Thatcher provides an accessible and scholarly introduction to the personality and career of Britain’s fi rst female political leader and the twentieth century’s longest serving Prime Minister. Providing a balanced narrative and assessment of one of the most signifi cant fi gures of the post-war era, this new biography examines the reasons why Margaret Thatcher has been admired by many as an architect of national revival, yet loathed by others as the author of widening social and geographical division. The book begins by examining the making of Margaret Thatcher, her education, the beginning of her political career and her rise through the Conservative Party to her unexpected election as leader. Moving on to her tenure as Prime Minister, Graham Goodlad then examines her impact at home and abroad, covering her controversial economic policies and hard line with the trade unions, leadership through the Falklands confl ict and during the last decade of the Cold War, and infl uence on Britain’s relation- ship with a more closely integrated Europe. Finally, the biography closes with a review of Thatcher’s legacy before and after her death in April 2013, and considers how far she shaped the politics and society of the 1980s and those of our own time. Thatcher is essential reading for all students of twentieth- Downloaded by [New York University] at 13:41 28 September 2016 century history and politics.

  • 1 BBC Four Biopics
    BBC Four biopics: Lessons in Trashy Respectability The broadcast of Burton and Taylor in July 2013 marked the end of a decade- long cycle of feature-length biographical dramas transmitted on BBC Four, the niche arts and culture digital channel of the public service broadcaster. The subjects treated in these biopics were various: political figures, famous cooks, authors of popular literature, comedians and singers. The dramas focused largely on the unhappy or complex personal lives of well-loved figures of British popular culture. From the lens of the 21st century, these dramas offered an opportunity for audiences to reflect on the culture and society of the 20th century, changing television’s famous function of ‘witness’ to one of ‘having witnessed’ and/or ‘remembering’ (Ellis, 2000). The programmes function as nostalgia pieces, revisiting personalities familiar to the anticipated older audience of BBC Four, working in concert with much of the archive and factual content on the digital broadcaster’s schedules. However, by revealing apparent ‘truths’ that reconfigure the public images of the figures they narrate, these programmes also undermine nostalgic impulses, presenting conflicting interpretations of the recent past. They might equally be seen as impudent incursions onto the memory of the public figures, unnecessarily exposing the real-life subjects to censure, ridicule or ex post facto critical judgement. Made thriftily on small budgets, the films were modest and spare in visual style but were generally well received critically, usually thanks to writerly screenplays and strong central performances. The dramas became an irregular but important staple of the BBC Four schedule, furnishing the channel with some of their highest ratings in a history chequered by low audience numbers.

  • Bbc Radio 3 - Sounds of Shakespeare April – May 2016
    BBC RADIO 3 - SOUNDS OF SHAKESPEARE APRIL – MAY 2016 MONDAY 18TH – FRIDAY 22ND APRIL Essential Classics Monday 18th - Friday 22nd April 0900 - 1200 In the week leading up to the Shakespeare 400 anniversary, the guest on Radio 3’s morning programme is Adrian Lester OBE, acclaimed for his performances as Henry V and Othello at the National Theatre – winning the Evening Standard Best Actor award. He’ll talk about Shakespeare, his life as an actor and choose some fascinating music. Producer: Sarah Devonald, Somethin’Else Composer of the Week Monday 18th - Friday 22nd April 1200 – 1300 William Byrd There is frustratingly little evidence that William Byrd was personally acquainted with his fellow Elizabethan, William Shakespeare. Although, a tantalising reference to “the bird of loudest lay” in Shakespeare’s sonnet, The Phoenix and the Turtle hints that they may have been more than mere contemporaries. As a Roman Catholic in Elizabethan England, William Byrd was persecuted by the state and often forced to tread a dangerous path between his personal convictions and his duty to the Queen. His musical talent and his strength of character enabled him not just to survive, but thrive. Despite his trials, he was, and continues to be, celebrated as the greatest British musician of his age. SOUNDS OF SHAKESPEARE LIVE 22nd – 24th April, Stratford-upon-Avon Radio 3 broadcasts live all weekend from its pop-up studio at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s The Other Place theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon and at venues across the town. Actors, musicians, poets, singers and orchestras perform a huge range of songs, film scores, jazz, chamber music, choral works and world music - all inspired by Shakespeare's works.
