Both CBC and BBC television cooperated with Crawley- McConnell to fund the film productions, which were shot on a new soundstage at Old Chelsea, near Crawley's base in Ottawa and on location. Aylmer, Quebec and Outlook, Saskatchewan stood in for the fictional western town of Shamattawa, the centre of the action. In a period when cops and private eyes purveyed their respective brands of law and order on U.S. television, the tales of an R.C.M.P. detachment in rural northern Saskatchewan were considerably more low-key. The situation and stories that the program concerned did not hinge exclusively on crimes and their solution. They used the characters' rural isolation, the relations of the populace to the police and to each other, cultural differences between whites and natives, and the changing moods of nature to shape their stories. As continuing focal points for frontier narratives, the R.C.M.P. resembled the lawmen of the old west who also rode herd over the U.S. airwaves. The officers in the detachment were Corporal Jacques Gagnier, played by Gilles Pelletier, Constable Frank Scott, played by John Perkins, and Constable Bill Mitchell, who was portrayed by Don Francks.

  • Greek Tragedy on Radio
    AN EAR FOR AN EYE: GREEK TRAGEDY ON RADIO by Natalie Anastasia Papoutsis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Centre for Study of Drama University of Toronto © Copyright by Natalie Anastasia Papoutsis 2011 An Ear for an Eye: Greek Tragedy on Radio Natalie Anastasia Papoutsis Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Centre for Study of Drama University of Toronto 2011 Abstract An Ear for an Eye: Greek Tragedy on Radio examines the dramaturgical principles involved in the adaptation of Greek tragedies for production as radio dramas by considering the classical dramatic form’s representational ability through purely oral means and the effects of dramaturgical interventions. The inherent orality of these tragedies and Aristotle’s suggested limitation of spectacle ( opsis ) appears to make them eminently suitable for radio, a medium in which the visual dimension of plays is relegated entirely to the imagination through the agency of sound. Utilizing productions from Canadian and British national radio (where classical adaptations are both culturally mandated and technically practical) from the height of radio’s golden age to the present, this study demonstrates how producers adapted to the unique formal properties of radio. The appendices include annotated, chronological lists of 154 CBC and BBC productions that were identified in the course of research, providing a significant resource for future investigators. ii The dissertation first examines the proximate forces which shaped radio dramaturgy and radio listeners. Situating the emergence of radio in the context of modernity, Chapter One elucidates how audiences responded to radio’s return to orality within a visually-oriented culture.
