I've just been told that my play Samarkand, which was produced by the Red Shed in Adelaide just over a decade ago, was broadcast by ABC Radio National on Sunday on Airplay. I am fond of this production, which was performed by the original cast, Annabel Giles and Edwin Hodgeman, and directed by Tim Maddock. If you're curious, you can listen online, or wait for the repeat at 9pm on Friday.

My review of Barbara Reynolds' Dante: The Poet, The Political Thinker, The Man was broadcast on ABC Radio National's The Book Show today. My rather unsuccessful Simon Schama imitation is presently audible at The Book Show's site, with a handy transcript for those who can't stand it any more.
