Afternoon Play: I Decided to Kill My Brother-in-law after Dinner

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Margaret Wilkinson. It's summer, 1956. and things are hotting up in Brooklyn. In the oppressive heat of the Goldfarb household, Ernie is concocting a plan to do away with his brother-in-law Arthur before Arthur spills the beans. But what is Ernie's secret and why is Arthur sweating so much? Three characters voice their version of events in three sharply contrasting short plays exploring secrets and lies, temptation and desire.
