Amber Lone - The Ramayana

Cast Out

By Amber Lone. A distinctive modern version of an ancient Indian epic and one of the world's most popular love stories. Teenage Sita sees the most beautiful stranger in the street. She'll marry him or die. He is Prince Rama, heir to the throne but his stepmother wants Rama sent into exile.

Ravan...Paul Bhattacharjee

Dasarath...Jude Akuwudike
Sister...Deeivya Meir
Bharat...Saikat Ahamed

Music composed by Niraj Chag
Directed by Claire Grove

The ancient Indian epic The Ramayana is one of the world's most popular love stories. The separation and reunion of two lovers gives it perennial appeal but Rama's jealousy and Sita 's metamorphosis into a strong independent woman gives the story a contemporary feel. "Be as Rama," young Indians have been taught for 2,000 years, "be as Sita." but Rama is an interestingly flawed character, driven by powerful emotions in a world where monkeys can be gods, and gods can be as fallible as humans. Amber Lone's modern version of this Indian epic is scheduled to coincide with Divali, the festival of Lights, which celebrates Rama and Sita's return to their kingdom. Outstanding composer Niraj Chag creates original music.

Amber Lone (dramatist) is a bold new British Asian voice. She has had three acclaimed plays at Birmingham Rep: Paradise (2003), Deadeye(2006) & Four Streets (2009). She was a regular writer on Silver Street for BBC Asian network.

Niraj Chag (composer) wrote original music for the R4 dramatisation of The Mahabharata and a witty score for Rafta Rafta at the National Theatre. He is currently working on the feature film of Rafta Rafta . He has written and produced his own albums 'Along the Dusty Road' 2006 and 'Lost Souls' 2009 and composed music for BBC TV documentaries on Turner, Picasso and Bhopal.

MON 11:15 Loose Ends (b03bd24g)
Martin Clunes, John Otway, Arthur Smith, Bernadine Evaristo, Cloud Control, Moya

Clive has a check-up with the man who used to Behave Badly, actor Martin Clunes, who reprises his role as Dr. Martin Ellingham, the GP with a brusque bedside manner and a phobia of blood in ITV drama 'Doc Martin', set on the beautiful North Cornish coast. The next episode is on Monday 22nd September at 21.00.

Clive has a love-in with author and poet Bernardine Evaristo, whose new novel 'Mr Loverman' is a groundbreaking exploration of Britain's older Caribbean community. Antiguan born flamboyant Hackney pensioner Barrington Jedidiah Walker is teetering on the edge of a life-changing decision when his marriage goes into meltdown.

Arthur Smith gets Deep & Meaningless with cult legend John Otway, who in the midst of Britain's punk revolution and after a momentous TV appearance where 5.5 million viewers watched him land painfully on his testicles, was riding high in the charts. Too bad his next HIT was 25 years later! 'Rock And Roll's Greatest failure: Otway The Movie' demonstrates all too well the pitfalls of the rock 'n' roll dream.

Life's Too Short for actor Warwick Davis, who's about to star in West End favourite 'Spamalot.' He talks to Clive about launching his career as Wicket the Ewok in Star Wars VI: Return of The Jedi and starring in fantasy feature film 'Willow'. Warwick's playing Patsy from 23rd September until 19th October at The Playhouse Theatre, London.

With music from bright new star Moya, who performs 'Come and Get It'.
And from Australian pysch-pop foursome Cloud Control, who perform 'Scar' from their album 'Dream Cave'.

Series 4: Money

Retirement

Two people from different generations discuss society's changing attitudes to money.

The series takes a look at how our relationship with money has changed in the last 50 years. The series covers the lifespan from our earliest encounters with pocket money, to our views on money as we face retirement. With ever more complicated ways of managing money and shifting attitudes, what changes have been seen in our society over the last 50 years?

John Luff is in his 50s and has just taken early retirement from BT and is now running a consultancy business. He is able to retire fully, and his plans for retirement revolve around travel and leisure. His mother Rose is in her late 80s and has relied on her husband's pension from the post office which has been tough. A new retirement village concept has enabled her to part-buy a flat and live in a community which offers 5 star facilities including shops, hairdressers, restaurant, and a gym. They compare their experiences.

MON 23:00 Bremner's One Question Quiz (b03b2zbp)
What Does the Future Hold?

Rory Bremner's satirical comedy takes one big contemporary question each week and attempts to answer it. Regular panellists Andy Zaltzman, Kate O'Sullivan and Nick Doody are joined this week by the environmental journalist George Monbiot and author of 'An Optimist's Tour of the Future', Mark Stevenson.

Together, they ask "What does the future hold?"

This deconstructed "quiz" has only one question each week, because that question is so big, there's no time for anything else. Expect a mix of stand-up and sketch combined with investigative satire and incisive interviews, with a diverse range of characters who really know what they're talking about. Rory's mantra is that it's as important to make sense out of things as it is to make fun of them - only then will people laugh at the truth.

Affably absent-minded Earl of Emsworth, preparing his prize-winning pig Empress of Blandings for the Shropshire Agricultural Show, is afraid that rival pig-owner Sir Gregory Parsloe is planning to nobble his precious Empress.

He plans to hire private detective Percy Pilbeam to purloin the manuscript.

Emsworth's sister Lady Constance, equally desperate to stop publication, also has a secret plan.

And romance is in the air. His Lordship's new secretary and Emsworth's niece Millicent are secretly in love, but need financial help to pull off the marital merger. Emsworth's nephew, Ronnie Fish, is also in love with an unsuitable person - chorus girl Sue Brown. But Emsworth refuses to allow Ronnie any more money. Ronnie concocts a plan to regain his uncle's approval.

Today, Natalia evokes her grandfather as a nine year old boy, and the day the men of his village set off to hunt the tiger.

Tea Obreht is on "The New Yorker's Top Writers under 40 Fiction Issue" (June 2010), and at 24 was the youngest on the list. 'The Tiger's Wife' is one of the Waterstone's 11 - the best debuts that they have picked for 2011. Her short story, "The Sentry", appeared in the "Guardian Summer Fiction Issue", alongside stories by Hilary Mantel and David Mitchell.

She was born in 1985 in the former Yugoslavia, and raised in Belgrade, where she spent her childhood. In 1992, her family immigrated, and in 1997 eventually settled in the United States.
