THE GOLDEN APPLE

This 1954 musical has long remained one of the "cult" favorites of Broadway

the last century. A critical success, but a popular failure, it has been

reissued it on CD, and Richard brings it to you on the air.

SUNDAY SHOWCASE 10:05 p.m.(11:05 AT; 11:35 NT) CBC RADIO ONE

THE TITANIC LEADS OFF THE BELL CANADA READING SERIES FROM THE SHAW FESTIVAL

The plays in this mini-festival were all read before audiences in the
summer of 1996 at the Shaw's Royal George Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

E.J. Pratt was a prolific poet whose most considerable achievements were a
set of long epic poems, of which The Titanic (1935) is the best known.
Pratt once wrote, "The Titanic is a study in irony... So completely
involved was the ship in what we call the web of Fate, that it seemed as if
the order of events had been definitely contrived against a human
arrangement... The spectacle of the world's greatest ship slowly sinking to
her doom in perfectly calm water...sinking to the accompaniment of joyous
music, was not only tragic but grotesque." The cast includes Damien Atkins,
Michael Ball, Robert Benson, Simon Bradbury, Ben Carlson, Michael Todd
Cressman, Jason Dietrich, David Hogan, Corrine Koslo, Brian Marler, Severn
Thompson and Karen Wood.

Note: Also heard Mondays at 9 p.m. (9:30 NT) as part of CBC's Radio Two In
