Will You Accept the Call? by JONATHAN RABAN
A monologue with slight interruption, inspired by phone-in programmes with Donald Pleasence as Bernard Voyce
'If Voyce happens to be out of season, persona non et cetera, as far as you personally are concerned, that is, of course, entirely your affair. Robin, also a busy man, would lend an ear, but you ... no. " Sorry, Voyce, some other time, old boy." All right. Message received and understood. I apologise for troubling you. Should never have got on the blower to you at all.'
Foreign caller ...NEVILLE JASON Produced and directed by RICHARD WORTLEY
