mastery is evident in his rendering of this ancient drama, beat for beat, and he lends his<br />

voice to the production, as narrator. Under Patrick Mason’s direction, maximum<br />

attention is paid to the rhythm and timing of each word, aiming to faithfully re-voice the<br />

play for a contemporary audience. (The burial at Thebes – RTÉ, Ireland). The specificity<br />

of this radiophonic adaptation of the renowned Doyle’s mystery, "The adventure of the<br />

resident patient", is in conversion of four principal male characters into four female<br />

personalities. In our version of the story, Mrs. Holmes investigates the case of robbery<br />

and betrayal, helped by her friend and assistant, a very charming woman, Dr. Watson.<br />

The adaptation strictly and faithfully follows Doyle’s text, but overthrows the loyalty of a<br />

male cast to an entirely female one with the aim of questioning the (im)possibility of<br />

being an emancipated female detective at the turn of the century. (The adventure of the<br />

resident patient – HRT, Croatia). How can one put Leo Tolstoy’s "War and Peace" on the<br />

radio At first, it seemed an impossible mission. Then suddenly the idea of "Memorable<br />

Scenes" came to mind. Slowly, then at a gallop, because reading War and Peace has<br />

imprinted in the memory of every reader, a memorable scene, several memorable scenes,<br />

as if Tolstoy's narrative strength and drive was precisely to inscribe permanently the<br />

"memorable" as the main character of his novel's incredible appeal. Choices were<br />

necessary in order to realize the two hour and three episode project. It was complicated<br />

and difficult at times to do the cutting. The narrator's voice, the vivid and choral scenes,<br />

the rhythm, the fervor that the book generates coming from Tolstoy's questionings and<br />

the pleasure coming from Tolstoy's readings, had all to be transmitted in its whole also.<br />

(Memorable scenes from "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy – SRF, France). "The last tape"<br />

is a radio adaptation of one of the most famous Samuel Beckett’s dramas, "Krapp’s last<br />

tape". The radio production focuses on the verbal layer of text and on the other hand, it<br />

composes sound and musical background that creates an independent plan of thoughts.<br />

For the creators, the main subject of the play is the inability to record memories and<br />

emotions that eventually cease to exist in time, because as a consequence our imperfect<br />

memory can not fully replace the initial experience. (The last tape – RTVS, Slovak<br />

Republic). "Aunt Julia and the scriptwriter", an autobiographical romantic comedy by<br />

Mario Vargas Llosa in a dramatisation by Magnus Berg. Every year, the Radio Theater<br />

especially produces a radio play dedicated to the year’s Nobel Prize winner in literature.<br />

(Aunt Julia and the scriptwriter by Mario Vargas Llosa – SR, Sweden). On the occasion of<br />

the 50th anniversary of the death of the author Willem Elsschot in 2010, Pat Donnez<br />

realized the radio series Zot van Elsschot. Prominent figures from the Flanders and<br />

Holland talk freely about their favourite author. 'In occasione del cinquantenario dalla<br />

morte dello scrittore Willem Elsschot nel 2010, Pat Donnez ha realizzato la serie<br />

radiofonica Zot van Elsschot, in cui personaggi illustri delle Fiandre e dell’Olanda<br />

parlano liberamente del loro scrittore preferito (Mad about Elsschot – VRT, Belgium).<br />

Twenty years ago, Andreas came to Paris to work on his doctorate. In the beginning<br />

everything went smoothly but then his money ran out. Beer was expensive and the<br />

evenings were long. Then Andreas was approached in a bar by a stranger who handed<br />

him 5,000 euros. A chance to start anew, on the condition that after a year he would<br />

have to donate the sum to "Saint Thérèse of Lisieux" in the parisian church of<br />

Sainte-Marie des Batignolles. (Destiny, by all means destiny "The Legend of the Holy<br />

Drinker"– ARD, Germany). The city is infested with plague.A fiery family battle rages<br />

inside the palace while inundation and conflagration ravage the country. Are great<br />

misfortunes and natural disasters the consequence of human failings The story is<br />

inspired by events in the Oresteia. A parallel narrative is told by the child who inhabits<br />

both the past and present. (Dance of the hungry ghosts – ABC, Australia). There is<br />

nothing unusual about an actress being able to act; however, the leading lady in Antonio<br />

Fian's play can do much more. She can neigh, stamp, paw the ground and buck; after<br />

all, that is what she has been engaged to do. A radio production, "Troy for Kids",the aim<br />

is to make classical education palatable for young listeners, using modern language and<br />

methods.. "Hennir" (French: to neigh) is a reflection on theatre, on bourgeois classical<br />
