The Wednesday Play: It Wasn't Me

on BBC One London

by James Hanley
starring Frances Cuka, Ronald Lacey and Derek Francis

Some people will do anything to get rid of an ageing father. George and Edna visit the sinister Mr Shafton and his son - who guarantee to solve any problem.
But their solution isn't quite what they expected and George and Edna see one another in a new and frightening light.
The shrewish Edna is played by Frances Cuka, a distinguished member of the RSC. Her recent appearances include "The Silver Tassie" and Pinter's "Silence".
Ronald Lacey has been in two recent films - "Take a Girl Like You" and "How I Won the War".
This is a new play by the novelist James Hanley whose best-known play was "Say Nothing".
