HEAR AN EXCERPT FROM THE FIRST EPISODE
Four very different young men on the threshold of manhood dominate 'A Dance to the Music of Time'. The narrator, Jenkins--a budding writer--shares a room with Templer, already a passionate womanizer, and Stringham, aristocratic and reckless. Widermerpool, as hopelessly awkward as he is intensely ambitious, lurks on the periphery of their world. Amid the fever of the 1920s and the first chill of the 1930s, these four gain their initiations into sex, society, business, and art. Considered a masterpiece of modern fiction, Powell's epic creates a rich parorama of life in England between the wars. Powell's sequence of twelve novels dramatised by Michael Butt and directed by John Taylor. David will be playing the part of Charles Stringham. BROADCAST
