BBC R4 - A Clergyman's Daughter

BBC R4 - George Orwell's 'A Clergyman's Daughter'

Adapted by John Peacock

Directed by Celia de Wolff

Broadcast March 22, 1993

Coded from tape at 128/44.1

Sound a little boomy. Short turnover gap



A woman oppressed by her clergyman father runs away

from home. She has various adventures, then returns home

and gives up her freedom.



Covers a lot of the same ground as Orwell's 'Down And

Out In Paris And London'. I think the daughter is based on

a woman Orwell had an affair with before he became famous
