This recording made from broadcast January 16, 1994
Coded from tape at 128/44.1
Factually based play set in Austria, Hungary and Poland
between 1890 and 1913.
Alfred Redl, a brilliant army officer, is confronted about his sexual
indiscretions and is forced to commit others of a different kind.
Possibly tame now. But in the 1960s this play shocked.
