      Splendid stuff.

      And there's Emlyn Williams' The Corn is Green with Burton, too.

      The Corn is Green

      Which part did Leo McKern play in the The Dark Tower? A cast-character list would have been helpful.

        Probably didn't know they had it?
        It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

          so is the same Britten music used in each ? I think they dug out the '46 version for Britten Weekend (and the '56 version for the Burton Fest). What else is lurking in the archives ?
