Delia is credited with Autocrats, an Arts & Education Feature for radio produced by Chuck Reinsch[1] and directed by Michael Rolfe, whose tape's catalogue entry is dated April 1971.[2]
The non-profit non-commercial, listener-sponsored Seattle radio station KRAB.FM lists, in its programme guide for April 1974,[3] on Sunday 28th[4] at 7:30:
THE AUTOCRATS BY PAUL D'ANDREA - This play is based on an actual incident recorded in 1720, when a ship from Beirut was refused admission to the port of Cagliari in Sardinia. The Viceroy of the port refused to grant admittance, giving as a reason a dream he had had of a ship carrying the plague. In the words of D'Andrea, “...the play concerns an executive intellect being confronted with a manifestation of insurrection.” Directed by Michael Rolfe of the BBC with three of the BBC's finest actors: David Brierley as the Adjutant; Garard Green as St. Remys; Jumoke Debayo as Palla.
A KRAB.FM archivist writes: “KRAB broadcast The Autocrats at least four times:
- Apr 28, 1974 - 7:30pm
- Oct 5, 1974 - 8:30pm
- Apr 30, 1976 - 2:00pm
- Mar 18, 1977 - 7:30pm
In the early to mid 70's, National Public Radio and the National Endowment for the Arts financed the production of a series of radio plays, some of which were purchased from the BBC. KRAB was a NPR affiliate at that time.” The radio drama series was called "Earplay" and it was distributed on LP.[5]
Nothing in the Radio Times listings matches this. Michael Rolfe is credited with producing some radio programmes for Schools in 1971-2, mostly Stories and Rhymes for 7-9 year olds,[6] while David Brierly and Garard Green act in Rolfe's Orange-Coloured Holiday Show broadcast on 27 December 1971.[7]
