Leaders & Notable People

Human beings have acquired enormous technological muscle power, and - coupled with our numbers and our soaring consumption - we are now having an impact on the planet that no other species has ever had. We are trying to dominate nature, but we are still part of it.  Foresight has always been a key to our survival and we have never needed it more than we do now. As we look ahead to an uncertain future, we have to examine some of our most cherished notions, like the ability of science to give us the power to manage nature, the benefits and hazards of genetic engineering, the real impact of information explosion, and the need to keep the global economy growing forever.  As you will hear in the programs, despite the sophistication of our technology, we remain biological beings, animals, inextricably embedded in the natural world. We must redefine progress and find ways to live in balance with each other and nature.  Produced at the state of the art recording studios of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

The Tragedy of King Lear

"Know that we have divided in three our Kingdom."  With these words , King Lear set into terrifying motion the events that lead to his downfall and madness, and to the death of his one true daughter, Cordelia. Shakespeare's great heart-wrenching tale illuminates the mind and heart of an eclipsed king, a man who becomes just another play on a stage of fools.  Produced at the state of the art recording studios of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation with sound effects and music.  Staring John Colicos  Original Score by John Mills-Cockell  Approximate Duration 2 Hours

Dramas & Plays

In this strikingly original look at modern culture, Robert Fulford pursues an unusual subject across a bizarre landscape whose features include urban legends, The Birth of a Nation, Jack Nicholson, Ivanhoe, TV News, Vladimir Nabokov, sex scandals and gossip, and The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Fulford sees storytelling as the core of civilized life, the juncture where facts and feeling meet, the bundle in which we wrap truth, hope, and dread. Narrative, he says is how we explain, how we teach, how we entertain ourselves - and how we often do all three at once. He distils half a century of experience as a journalist and critic into an account of human lives shaping stories and stories shaping human lives, and he asserts with special passion "the value of those unruly and unaccredited forms of narrative that arise from conversation, in particular the stories, true and untrue, that we tell about ourselves and people we know."

Waiting for Godot

"Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful?" Estragon's complaint, uttered in the first act of "Waiting for Godot", is the playwright's sly joke at the expense of his own play - or rather at the expense of those in the audience who expect theatre always to consist of events progressing in an apparently purposeful and logical manner towards a decisive climax. In those terms, "Waiting for Godot" - which has been famously described as a play in which "nothing happens, twice"- scarcely seems recognizable as theatre at all. As the great English critic wrote "Waiting for Godot jettisons everything by which we recognize theatre. It arrives at the custom-house, as it were, with no luggage, no passport, and nothing to declare; yet it gets through, as might a pilgrim from Mars."  Produced at the state of the art recording studios of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation with sound effects and music.  Performed by James Blendick, Joe Dinicol, Tim MacDonald, Tom McCamus, and Stephen Ouimette  Music composed and performed by Don Horsburgh  Approximate Duration 2 Hours

BECKETT,SAMUEL

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Come and hear the strange tail of The Boss Hank Morgan, a modern day (at the time of publication) Connecticut Yankee who inexplicably finds himself transported to the court of the legendary King Arthur (as the title of the book implies). Hank, or simply, The Boss, as he comes to be most frequently known, quickly uses his modern day knowledge and education to pass himself off as a great magician, to get himself out of all sorts of surprising, (and frequently amusing) situations, as well as to advance the technological and cultural status of the nation in which he finds himself.
