Kaleidophon created sound for the National Theatre's 1970 production of George Bernard Shaw's play Back to Methuselah featuring Joan Plowright.[1]

The sound was done at Kaleidophon with Brian Hodgson and Marc Wilkinson.[2]

Delia's papers also include a clipping from the Radio Times, listing "Back to Methuselah: A Metabiological Pentateuch by Bernard Shaw"[3] but the transmission highlighted in biro is "An ABC in Sound: Poems by Bob Cobbing, which Delia created sound for, so the Methusaleh mention on the same page may just be a coincidence.

The labels on its master tapes misspell call it Methusaleh.

Tapes

  • DD036: "Methusaleh 1 copy master"
  • DD037: "Methusaleh 2 copy master.
  • DD149: "Methuselah 3"
