BBC R4 - J B Priestley's 'Time And The Conways' sp7

BBC R4 - J B Priestley's 'Time & The Conways' Songs sung by Sharon Wilmott Music by Malcolm McKee & Jenny Phillips Adapted & directed by Sue Wilson Broadcast September 17, 1994 in the BBC's 'J B Priestley Season' Coded from tape at 128/44.1 One of Priestley's time plays. This one looks back at twenty years in the life of the Conway family - 1919 to 1939. It seems to me that Priestley's obsession with time has its roots in the same place as Kurt Vonnegut's. Dislocation from witnessing events so extreme as to be near impossible to believe. I draw this comparison because, even though the WWI battles went on for weeks and months, their huge body counts happened in hours. Vonnegut went to bed in a packed ornate city. He woke to a pile of ash. Priestley saw hundreds of his Bradford boyhood contemporaries die in a couple of doomed attacks in September, 1915. In 1917 he witnessed the first day of a Somme Offensive that killed 60,000 allies before lunchtime. Ever after, when Priestley thought about his youth, he saw " ... a crowd of ghosts ...". No wonder it was 1962 before he could write about the war.
