Scene for the play, “An Affair of Honour” is based on a period in the life of Lola Montez, a well known Irish actress & dancer, who in 1844, whilst living in Paris, France, had an ‘affair‘ with composer Franz Liszt and a ‘dalliance’ with Three Musketeer’s author, Alexandre Dumas. While in Paris she formed a romance with newspaper owner Alexandre Dujarier, who while drunk during a party, was challenged to a dual by Rosemond de Beauvallon. As a result, Dujarier was shot and killed!
Note of interest: In the original BBC broadcast, the part of ‘Annabella’ was played by famous English actress, Billie Whitelaw CBE.
Later on in 1846, Lola moved to Munich and became the ‘mistress’ of King Ludwig1 of Bavaria. Her story continues from there——-

This is a BBC Radio Play that was originally broadcast live in 1953. It was one of nine plays written for the BBC by Austin Stone (1904-1979) who also wrote eight ‘True Crime’ novels, during the years 1936-1973. His last book “Missing, Murder Suspected” was, along with the play, recently transcribed/edited & published POSTHUMOUSLY in his father’s memory, by Chilliwack resident & CPG member Ed Stone. Both the original manuscripts for this play and book were found in recent documents left to Ed by his father.
