Programme Details

In tonight’s Night Waves Susan Hitch investigates 3 mysteries, supernatural, spiritual and human: Who was the real Shakespeare, and did the man bear any resemblance to the playwright?

What is the secret of the sacred geometry of Chartres cathedral, the jewel in the crown of French high gothic?

And who is the man behind the mask of the phantom of the opera? What is the nature of his disfigurement? and how has it changed from the original book of 1910, to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new film version?

That’s all on tonight’s Night Waves with Susan Hitch 9.45pm on Radio 3.
