Description
BBC R3 - David Pownall's 'Dreams And Censorship'
Produced by Eoin O'Callaghan
Broadcast February 7, 1993
Coded from tape at 192/44.1

1610. King James' Authorised Bible is near complete. Shakespeare warns
James that inclusion of the 'Dream of St John*' will lead to blood. James and
Shakespeare travel to Oxford to discuss the matter with the editorial team.

We now know that this Shakespeare was right. By 1980 the loonier end of
the religious right was in ecstasies over symbols like 666, the Pale Rider,
and The Beast. For a while back there it looked like they might push the
button just to give John's barmy 'prophecies' a helping hand.

With hindsight, it would have been better left on the 'Do Not Disturb' shelf
along with the rest of the Apocrypha.

Aside of the above issues, this play is worth listening to for the depictions
of Shakespeare and James, and their relationship.
