NPR series
English chronicles to be aired
“Vivat Rex,” a 26-part
chronicle of the English
crown through 200 years of
its bloodiest history,
premieres this month on
National Public Radio,
through KVLU-FM (91.3),
at 3 p.m., each Sunday.
The series began April 13
and each episode is one-
hour long, according to
Joanne Scarborough,
development director.
The story, as told by the
Elizabethan play-
wrights—Shakespeare,
Marlowe, Ford, Fletcher
and their con-
temporaries—is told in a
series of one-hour drama-
tizations, narrated by
Richard Burton, Scar-
borough said.
Actors in the series are
John Hurt, Sarah Badel,
Michael Redgrave, Peggy
Ashcroft, Anthony QuAyle,
Derek Jacobi and Paul
Schofield.
The period covered by
the episodes is from 1307 to
1533, Scarborough said, an
era with an everchanging
pattern of ambition,
conquest, glory, greed and
murder.
Part one, “The King's
Favorite,” is based on
Christopher Marlowe’s
play “Edward II,” which
was the only one to be set in
England and possibly his
last play. Edward came to
the throne in 1307, and is
played by John Hurt, Scar-
borough said.
The series tells the
history of the English
crown during two centuries
of struggle and bloodshed,
according to Scarborough.
“Vivat Rex” (meaning
“Long Live the King”) is
taken from the coronation
ceremony.
It is a story of closely in-
terrelated families whose
feuding ultimately ends in
their destruction, Scar-
borough said.
The leading figures
becomes both hero and
villain, for as each usurper
seizes the throne, he is for-
ced to defend it against the
next contender, Scar-
borough said. And one sim-
ple but ruthless ambition
motivates the charac-
ters—desire for the crown.
“The series is
magnificently cast and
even the smallest parts are
played by stars of the
Shakespearean stage,” one
critic said. “The history
may be debatable, the wor-
ds are superb.”

KYLU premieres music series
“Quartessence,” a new
weekly series from
National Public Radio will
start Sunday on KVLU-FM
(91.3), at 1 p.m., Joanne
Scarborough, development
director, said.
“Quartessence” explores
the nature of string quartet
music and the musicians
who play it, Noah Andre
Trudeau, producer of the
series, said. Each two-hour
session will feature a per-
formance of some of the
world’s great string quar-
tet music, presented by a
different group.
“Some of the groups that
we present, such as the
LaSalle and Cleveland
Quartets, are already of in-
ternational stature,”
Trudeau said. “Others,
such as the Aurora and
Muir quartets, are only
recently established, but
already highly respected,”
Trudeau said.
Also included in the
series are the Vermeer,
Philadelphia, Manhattan,
Sequoia, Alard, New
World, Esterhazy, Blair
and Chester String Quar-
tets, according to Trudeau.
Each program also con-
tains commentary by
American violinist and
teacher, Raphael Hillyer,
who takes listeners on a
guided tour of the works
performed, Trudeau said.
Hillyer performed with
the Juilliard String Quartet
for 23 years, Trudeau said,
and will use his 400-year-
old viola, once owned by
Paganini, to demonstrate
portions of the music.
Host for the NPR series
is Karen Hushagen, Scar-
borough said.
