Description
In this adaptation of Henry James’ tale of the corrupting power of old Europe, Ralph Richardson plays the author himself and his four meetings with Miss Caroline Spencer. With Daisy Miller, Four Meetings - first published in 1879 - is Henry James’ other masterpiece of the uncertain relationship between American and European culture.
Henry James meets Caroline Spencer on just four occasions, but he observes the exploitation and destruction of a young American woman in Europe. It is a study of attraction and conflict, of new and old, innocence and experience, ardour and complexity, the puritanical and the aesthetic. But Caroline Spencer’s passionate dreams of European civilisation lead only to her ultimate downfall.
"Theatre Royal" was first broadcast in the UK in 1952 and chiefly featured Ralph Richardson and Laurence Olivier as narrators of classic fiction, adapted for radio.
