Comment edit

David RUDKIN: Cries of Casement as his Bones are Brought to Dublin, BBC, London 1974, 84pp. Highly praised radio play, first broadcast in 1973 (with Norman Rodway as Casement) dramatising his sexuality and sexual activity from the text in the Black Diaries, juxtaposing Irish Catholic and Ulster Protestant hypocrisy with British humbug. It suffers from an idealistic ending, with Casement calling on an Ulster Protestant youth, guilty about his people’s history to come together in a new Irishness with southern Catholics - and perforce abandon his own nationality. See also Rudkin’s articles in The Listener, 8 February 1973, and Encounter, August 1973 (Vol XLI).

David Rudkin was born in Ulster, his grandfather an Orangeman from Slieve Gullion. (extract from bibliography in Jeffrey Dudgeon's book Roger Casement: The Black Diaries - With a Study of his Background, Sexuality, and Irish Political Life)

I am as certain as can be that the first broadcast (to which I listened) was on BBC Radio 3, but cannot prove it. Narky Blert (talk) 17:18, 30 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
