BBC Radio 4 — Road to the Borders
Полный текст песни
Road to the Borders
Written by Douglas Livingstone.
Road to the Borders is set in Hawick over the weekend of the Reivers' Festival — a few days when the deeds of the reivers (dictionary definition: one who makes raids or plunders) are celebrated.
Until James I & VI united England and Scotland the reivers ruled the Borders, stealing their neighbours' cattle and exacting revenge for the raids they suffered themselves. Hamish is as English as they come, but his father was born in the Borders and Jim's pride in his ancestry becomes more marked the older he becomes. As he looks back with regret to the rules that governed his forbears, he wishes his son could be more like the reivers of old.
Road to the Borders is the sixth play in the Road series, in which writer Douglas Livingstone and director Jane Morgan team up at an event. The particular sounds are recorded and the atmosphere absorbed before Douglas writes the play. On this occasion, he responded to the romance and melodrama of the story of the reivers and the fact that his own father was a Scot played some part in the making of the play.
Producer/Director: Jane Morgan
A Unique production for BBC Radio 4.
First broadcast: 28 Jun 2012 (b01k2bvz)

Краткое описание
Текст песни BBC Radio 4 — Road to the Borders рассказывает о местности, где совсем недавно прошел фестиваль Риверов. Риверы — это люди, которые занимались грабежами и разбоем на территории Бордер. В семейной истории главного героя, Хэмеша, есть кровь бордерских райдеров, и он чувствует гордость за своих предков. Скорбя о правилах прошлого, Хэмеш мечтает о том, чтобы его сын был похож на бравых райдеров. Эта песня стала шестой в серии Road, в которой писатель Дуглас Ливингстон и режиссер Джейн Морган создают произведение. Атмосфера и звуки, записанные на этом фестивале, вдохновили Ливингстона на написание этой песни. Продюсер и режиссер этого уникального произведения для BBC Radio 4 — Джейн Морган..
