3/6. This Real Night. Rebecca West 's trilogy, dramatised by Robin Brooks. Rose and her sister Mary are studying to be professional pianists, but their talentless sister is already attracting attention on the concert platform. They are still isolated by their father's poverty and improvidence. His brilliant but wayward mind is now driving him nearer and nearer to ruin.
