Publisher's Summary
The Tale was Joseph Conrad’s only story of the First World War. Written in 1916, it was first published the following year in The Strand Magazine. It was then published again posthumously in 1925 in Tales of Hearsay. The Tale is a story of duty, war and horror. During the early days of the ‘bad’ war, a commanding officer – the narrator himself – is taking his ship past a dangerous and rocky coast.The weather is foul, a thick, impenetrable fog obscuring the rocks, so that the commanding officer can see nothing and only sense the danger before him.
"Theatre Royal" was first broadcast in the UK in 1952 and chielfy featured Ralph Richardson and Laurence Olivier as narrators of classic fiction, adpated for radio.
