Afternoon Theatre: A Respectable Wedding

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A comedy by Bertolt Brecht translated by Jean Benedetti
With Stacy Dorning as the bride and John Carson as her father

His father-in-law tells embarrassing stories, his best man sings an unsuitable song and a friend's wife breaks up his furniture. It's not much fun for Heinrich but it's even worse for his bride when it is revealed that this is not such a respectable wedding.

(John Carson is in 'The Jeweller's Shop' at the Westminster Theatre, London)
