Making Dickie Happy

Synopsis:
Young Noel Coward and his boyfriend, Tono; young 'Dickie' Mountbatten and a naval chum, and youngish Agatha Christie, mysteriously alone and using another name, all find themselves at an hotel on an island off the Devon coast soon after the end of the First World War. the weekend is fictitious, the people real. This comedy, looking at relationships, marriages, engagements, promises, hellos and goodbyes is never less than fascinating. Agatha Christie, a little older than the men, is married and the mother of a small daughter. At this early stage in her career she has written a couple of Hercule Poirot novels, the Mysterious Affair at Styles and Murder on the Links, and a volume of Poirot stories, Poirot Investigates, first serialised in the newspaper the Sketch. 'Dickie' Mountbatten is on the fringe of numerous royal families but only on the fringe. His carefully nurtured friendship with the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII), has already helped his social profile. Noel Coward was 19 when his first play, I'll Leave it to You, was produced in the West end, followed by a second, the Young Idea, and a revue, London Calling! (1923). Through these, he became a minor celebrity but real success lay ahead.

Oedipus The King

Synopsis:
n Ancient Greece so many things have either no explanation or a number of equally valid explanations that the idea of mans destiny being in the lap of the gods cuts several ways. It keeps people in line, checking their behaviour; its a help for living the right life and, of course, kings can exploit it to bully, as can popes, businessmen and soldiers.

after Oedipus Tyrannos by Sophocles, adapted by Jeremy Kingston: part of Oedipus Retold
