Saturday-Night Theatre: Weekend with Willie

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Richard Huggett
The Maitlands are an unsophisticated couple who are flattered to be invited to dinner at the Villa Mauresque by Somerset Maugham, the famous author. But if they had known that the other guests were to be Willie's brother Freddie, his ex-wife Syrie, and his American friend, Gerald, they might have treated the invitation with slightly more caution.
(Rptd: Mon 3.2 pm)
(Prunella Scales is in "Quartermaine's Terms" at the Queens Theatre, London)
