This week on Cruising The Classics we look at two different and yet similar short stories of Joseph Conrad. They are similar in the fact they involve first mates. The first story is The Black Mate and it was originally published in Tales Of Hearsay. We’ll be looking at Theater Royale from May 2 1954 with Ralph Richardson in the starring role. Then we’ll have the chance to Escape to the China Seas in Typhoon the fourth program of escape from July 28 1947 though originally from 1899. Both are sea stories, both are enjoyable. So please join us and reexamine classic literature with otr as your guide. Thanks so much.
