BBC R3 - T S Eliot's 'Sweeney Agonistes' sp7

BBC R3 - T S Eliot's 'Sweeney Agonistes' Subtitled 'An Aristophanic Melodrama' Music by David Byers Directed by Clive Brill Broadcast October 2, 1988 in the TSE Century season Coded from tape at 80/44 Thanks to Usenet for this file Sweeney's arrival disturbs plans for a social evening. Eliot's first significant piece since 'The Wasteland'. Similar in content but very different in style from his earlier work. Although unfinished, the published parts were polished to TSE's usual standard. They stand alone. The work is now seen as merely the prototype for his later plays. But it was much more than that - matching solemn themes to jazzy tempos was a radical idea. TSE did return to this approach, but never again with such contrast. Probably best known now through parodies of Eliot's style. It's too short to merit a full scale stage production. This radio adaption is an opportunity to hear the play as TSE intended. Cast Sweeney - Malcolm Storry Dusty - Denise Black Doris - Patsy Rowlands Krumpacker - John Branwell Klipstein - Michael Maloney Wauchope - Nigel Carrington Musicians Jeff Box - Double-bass Simon Butterworth - Reeds Richard Davis - Flute David Fletcher - Cello Paul Patrick - Percussion Bernard Robertson - Piano .

Dear spafon7e:
I'm new to torrent files and to The Pirate Bay. And what a treasure I have discovered in the last few days. Of the members who have uploaded the kind of material I am interested in--audios of great works of literature and BBC adaptations of such works--you are one and another is 'sheila' something (I forget the full name). This is to thank both of you.
Also to request you to please seed 'Sweeney Agonistes' so that I am able to partake of this Eliot play. I am sure you are aware there are very few seeders for works such as this, so our tribe of people with like interests stands at a big disadvantage, as against, say, those who look for porn! Keep seeding, please.
Regards

And spafon7e, do let me know how exactly I can pull my weight in this effort. The spirit is willing, the technical know-how is weak. :-)

Not sure why you can't get this one - it's still seeding ...
