Afternoon play on Richard Dadd:
BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play from last Tuesday was on artist Richard Dadd, who spent most of his life in the wing for the criminally insane in Bethlem Hospital.
It is 1854. In the Criminal Wing of Bethlem Hospital for the Insane, painter Richard Dadd and poet Emily Clayton are caught in the middle, as two rival doctors seek to reform the treatment of the mentally ill.
The audio of the play is online until next Monday.
Realaudio of play 'Talk' by Mark Wilson.
