TITLE: Sit well, Edith!

More about it

AUTHOR: Jürg Amann

DESCRIPTION: Edith Sitwell (1887-1964), 'eine Schrille von hohen Gnaden', entstammte einem alten englischen Adelsgeschlecht, wurde erbarmungsloser noch als nach den ohnehin kruden Regeln ihres Standes erzogen, floh das Elternhaus und suchte mit untrüglichen Sinnen Gesellschaft abseits der Normen. Sie porträtierte 'Englische Exzentriker' mit Sympathie und scharfzüngigem Witz und verfasste mehrere Gedichtbände, die sie berühmt machten und die inzwischen zu den Klassikern englischer Avantgarde-Literatur zählen. Aus ihrer hinreissenden Autobiografie 'Mein exzentrisches Leben', baute Jürg Amann (in der ihm eigenen Art der Kompilation literarischer Materialien) sein Theaterstück 'Sit well, Edith!'.

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
