I'm just catching this. It's so good. A sequence of poetry, prose and music on the theme of power, with readings by Sheila Hancock and Tom Hollander.
With poems from Percy Shelley, Ted Hughes, Rudyard Kipling and Margaret Atwood, as well as music by Prokofiev, Ligeti and Handel. More like this please!
And this was wonderful: "Kit Wright’s Ode to Didcot Power Station. Wright says that if he was going to have an ode, “why not go the whole hog and pull out all the stops with ‘thee’s and ‘thou’s and fairly antiquated language.”
Please note this programme contains strong language! http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n6tl5
