Mark Ravenhill
Michael Berkeley's guest is one of Britain's best-known contemporary playwrights, Mark Ravenhill. He shot to fame with a series of plays whose contemporary themes, black sense of humour and sensational subject-matter - exploring subjects such as alternative sexuality and drug-taking - have intrigued and scandalized audiences all over the world.
His musical choices have a strongly political slant and reveal a passion for opera, ranging from Offenbach's satirical comedy Orpheus in the Underworld to Beethoven's Fidelio, Verdi's Rigoletto, John Adams's Nixon in China and Britten's Peter Grimes.

The Sicilian Expedition
By John Fletcher.
Almost 2,500 years ago, a confident young general persuaded Athens to launch an attack on Sicily. Alcibiades was a member of the Athenian baby boomer generation, whose elders had fought to give their children a society of justice, wealth and education. The baby boomers explored every sexual avenue, took drugs to excess and became great consumers of highly exotic products. Then it all went wrong.
Within two years of the defeat in Sicily, democratic Athens, the pinnacle of human civilisation, lay in ruins. Yet, as the city endured its death agonies, something new and wonderful was born: the Socratic idea of universal love.

A sequence of poetry and music inspired by the world seen from a great height, the flight of birds and the romance of mountain tops.
Musical evocations of mountains by Sibelius, Strauss and Liszt sit with poems by Shelley and Petrarch. Anton Lesser and Lesley Sharp read works by Ted Hughes, Pablo Neruda and EE Cummings which describe the world of birds in flight, and music by composers including Haydn, Honegger and George Benjamin evokes the same subject.
