MEREDITH HOOPER'S ACCLAIMED PLAY 'KATHLEEN AND CON' ON R4
![]() |
Kathleen and Con, by Meredith Hooper, stars Samuel West as Captain Scott and Emilia Fox as his wife, and will be aired in Radio 4's 'Afternoon Drama' slot, from 2.15-3.00.
The 45 minute play is based on the powerfully moving letters which Scott and Kathleen wrote to each other over a period of five years.
Poignantly, it is being broadcast in precisely the week - 100 years later - that the news broke upon the world of the deaths of Captain Scott and his four colleagues: Wilson, Bowers, Oates and Evans.
