Arena (1975)

The Waugh Trilogy: Part 1 - Bright Young Thing (1987x14)

Ausstrahlung: Apr 18, 1987

Twenty-one years after his death, Evelyn Waugh looms larger than ever over the English literary scene. In the course of three programmes, Arena uses the testimony of his friends and foes to explore the man and his work. The first programme covers the period of his early life, and his arrival in his 20s on the literary horizon with the publication of 'Decline and Fall' and 'Vile Bodies'.
