stars Christopher Scott, Jill Graham, Natasha Pyne, George Parsons.

John Donne....2002
R4, 19 Sep 02. This wasn't the title of the play, but it should have
been. It told of the early life of John Donne, and his love
for a remarkable woman. Afternoon play, 45m. (Incidentally,
the play was called "Aire & Angels".....I don't like to
criticise BBC policy, but in a biographical play, what is
the point of a title which doesn't mention the name of the
person it's about?)
Radio Times.......Donne's earliest works were inspired by his longing for the young niece of his employer. This secret romance was to suffer many separations and setbacks. With Samuel West as Donne, Alison Pettitt as Ann, also starring John Rowe, Michael Cochrane, David Thorpe, Tom George, Jane Whittenshaw. Directed by Cherry Cookson.
Out of the Ashes....2003
