New York, New York
The news comes from New York. The story of the author Hubert Selby is also tragic (Brooklyn last exit), which ended like several of his drug addict characters in fiction: Requiem for a city reminds of him and his drastic work (DLF Kultur, Tuesday, 10:03 p.m.). Another New York cosmos: City made of glass by Paul Auster (WDR 3, Monday to Thursday, 7:04 p.m.). Hitchcocks plays on the west coast of the USA The birds. Andreas Ammer tells in a radio play The birds according to Oskar Sala about the soundtrack of the film and its ingenious creator (Bayern 2, Sunday, 3:05 p.m.) – the start of a Hitchcock series with the radio play Rebecca (22. and 29.4.), The Alfred Hitchcock Show: Malice Aforenight (24.4.) And H for Hitchcock. A talk show (26.4.).
Constraints and freedoms
Man is condemned to be free – but what does he do with this freedom, which is a compulsion? That is why Jean-Paul Sartre’s novel revolves Disgust, Staged as a radio play in 1962 (HR 2, Sunday, 2:04 p.m.). The promise of freedom and how it turns into a dictatorship is also about No more waiting a “speech, singing and music drama”, so the subtitle, by Dietmar Dath and Thomas Weber about Lenin (NDR Kultur, Wednesday, 8 pm). In the US, freedom is also the more powerful right-wing think tank. That’s what the feature is about The artificial turf strategy (NDR Info, Sunday, 11 a.m.).
Fire hazard
Özlem Özgül Dündar initiates a conversation between living and dead women in her radio play, they are all connected to one another through the xenophobic arson attack in Solingen in 1993: turks, fire (WDR 3, Saturday, 7:04 p.m.). A dystopia in the guise of a science fiction, which however aims at a real present, today as in the year of production in 1988: Jonah in the fiery furnace or: The damaged life (Bayern 2, Saturday, 3:05 p.m.).
