The Watched Pot by SAKI adapted by GABRIEL WOOLF. With Mary Morris.
This is the last radio play that the distinguished actress Mary Morris recorded before her death in October. She takes the role of a grande dame - 'a Catherine II of Russia, without any of her redeeming vices' - whose power for relentless good would pass from her if only her negative son Trevor would marry. Which designing female will succeed in capturing him?
Directed by GRAHAM GAULD Stereo
