What's on TV? Friday, January 29, 1965

This week we're in Northern California, and a program that caught my eye is NET Playhouse's prodution of the verse play "A Sleep of Prisoners," by English playwright Christopher Fry, best known for his play "The Lady's Not for Burning" (9:00 p.m., channel 6). It tells the story of four prisoners of war locked up in a church overnight, and the Old Testament style dreams they have springing from an argument between them, representing a kind of universal human conflict. The broadcast boasts a strong cast including Barry Morse, Paul Stevens, Ramon Bieri, and Jon Voight. Despite what you might think, I'm not always saying that television was better back in the day than it is today, but I do wish there were more thoughtful dramas like this at least occasionally--you know, ones with adult themes that didn't involve drug cartels or crooked lawyers or meth manufacturers or vampires or zombies. That's not asking for too much, is it?
