A Century of Modern Theatre

Chains by ELIZABETH BAKER adapted for radio and produced by NORMAN WRIGHT
Elizabeth Baker is the first woman dramatist to appear in this series. Her play, originally performed at London's Court Theatre in 1909, tells in words and music of Charley Wilson 's yearning for a better life in Australia-and of the chains of love and poverty which prevent him.
