Saturday Night Radio Drama - Harold Pinter - A Kind of Alaska

Judi Dench and Harold Pinter 
I won't say anything about this except it has rather haunted me since I decided not to post it.   

Though not exactly a radio play.  From Michael Mantler's setting of a text by Pinter

Around Me Sits the Night

 From the album, Silence, an adaptation of the play by Harold Pinter


SILENCE
     WATT/5
     words by Harold Pinter
     (an adaptation of the play 'Silence')

     Robert Wyatt  (voice, percussion)
     Kevin Coyne 
(voice )
     Carla Bley 
(voice, piano, organ)
     Chris Spedding 
(guitar)
     Ron McClure 
(bass)

score 

Michael Mantler has a way with these kinds of texts.
