Karel Capek’s three-act play R.U.R. or Rossum’s Universal Robots was originally staged in Prague in 1920. Once it had been translated from Czech into English, it was performed in New York, before being adapted by Nigel Playfair for the English stage in 1923. The play became a massively influential work throughout the 20th Century, not least for bringing the word 'robot' to the English language (from the Czech 'robota', meaning work or labour).
This release features BBC Radio 3’s version from 1989, which utilised Nigel Playfair’s adaptation as the basis for the broadcast. This version does betray its staged origins, but this can be forgiven because of the work’s significance and also as it has a great cast with lots of recognisable voices. Simon Ward’s performance as Domain, particularly, stands out.
Presented here as the double CD release of 2008.
