The Wednesday Play: Infidelity Took Place

on BBC One London

by John Mortimer
With Judy Cornwell, Paul Daneman, John Nettleton

Divorce English Style might be a sub-title to this comedy by playwright-lawyer, John Mortimer. Leonard Hoskins, a fortyish mother-ridden divorce lawyer, receives a visit at his chambers from an intriguing new client. The client is Molly Panett, beautiful and innocent, and seemingly held in thrall by a wicked husband. Although Molly can produce very few real grounds for divorce, Leonard determines to rescue her from her unhappy marriage and, if all works out, to make her his own.
