Captain Corelli’s Mandolin: 1/4 – A Pea In The Ear

It is 1941 and Captain Antonio Corelli, a young Italian officer, is posted to the Greek Island of Cephallonia as part of the occupying forces. At first he is ostracised by the local, but as a conscientious but far from fanatical soldier, whose main aim is to have a peaceful war, he proves in time to be civilised, humorous – and a consummate musician.

Katie Hims’s dramatisation, for radio, of Louis de Bernieres’s best-selling novel.
