Morley, Christopher, 1890-1957

Mythology, Greek

Description:

The first part of a dramatic reading of the novel The Trojan horse (1937) by American journalist, essayist and author Christopher Morley (1890-1957). In this tragicomic retelling of the Troilus and Cressida legend, published in 1937, the 99.5 Radio Theatre tells a story that transcends the times, casually mixing periods to make a Troy as relevant to the 1960s audience as Saigon. Part 1 tells of Troy in the tenth year of Siege; of how Prince Troilus first sees the Trojan debutante, Cressida, at a pacifist demonstration led by his sister, Princess Cassandra; of an incident at Sarpedoni's, the roadhouse down by the Hellespont; of how Cressida's uncle Pandarus, the financier, arranges their meeting; and of a dinner party that Uncle Pan gives for King Priam and Queen Hecuba, and its consequences. Much of the action of the war is reported over the Voice of Ilium, the Trojan Radio Station.

The cast is as follows:

Cressida: Judith Seto

Troilus: Cliff May

Pandarus, Nestor: Jack Delmonte
