BBC Radio 3 - Drama on 3, Elizabeth and Essex

Simon Russell Beale stars in Elizabeth and Essex, with the music of Korngold played live.

Elizabeth and Essex is a new play by Robin Brooks, based on the writings of Lytton Strachey, about Elizabeth I and her young favourite, the Earl of Essex. It was recorded live at the Alexandra Palace Theatre, with music by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, drawn from his classic score which Korngold originally composed for the 1939 movie The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, starring Bette Davis as Elizabeth and Errol Flynn as Essex. Korngold’s music is played by the BBC Concert Orchestra and conducted by Robert Ziegler.

The play stars Simon Russell Beale as both Strachey, leading light of the Bloomsbury Group, and Elizabeth I. It explores the way in which Strachey gradually became absorbed in a rich fantasy life inspired by intrigue at the Tudor court, into which he drew the young man who was then the object of his affections. The two stories, of the Virgin Queen and the ageing writer, play out in parallel, with assistance from other Bloomsbury-group members, Lady Ottoline Morrell and John Maynard Keynes.

Don and Robin

As of now, I consider them the best tv couple I’ve seen on a non-romantic show. I think their relationship was portrayed very realistically and they did all the little things that made them look like a real couple. I know some people preferred Liz and maybe I would have been okay with them as well had the writing supported them as a relationship that was meant to go anywhere. The main issue for me was that Don was written as being committed to that relationship. That became evident when the whole thing collapsed because of a secret he was keeping and how he didn’t even try to get Liz back.

Although she’d been in a couple of s2 episodes, the first time I saw Robin was in Checkmate (4-14) which was her return to the show. When Don told her that she messed him up real bad when she left, I got the impression that this was the relationship in which the writers were going to invest. I loved that Robin was the one who left and they didn’t make her Don-dependent. She was only in 15 of the 118 episodes Don is listed as being in, so I don’t know what to make of anyone who says she ruined the show. I don’t know how she could have done that by barely being in the show, but maybe her being in 7 of 23 episodes in s5 was just overwhelming.  I loved her and would have wanted her to have been at least one more episode with Don after he was injured.
