THE FLAME

This is Angela Rodaway's second radio play. Her first, The Death of the Jellybaby, was broadcast last year. The Flame is centred on the conflict between two women: one intelligent, brilliant, apparently hard. driven by a terrible malice: the other apparently safe in her position with husband and child, yet tormented by the premature death of a child. The action is concerned with the relationship between the two, and the power of evil generated in each by the other. The Flame is composed in free time sequence of interlocking November the Fifths, which emphasises the concept of fire as an embodiment of evil. as a force to be worshipped. and as the element by which witchcraft was destroyed.[2]
