A BOOK AT BEDTIME

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

No Leading Lady by R. C. SHERRIFF abridged by Peter Bartlett
Read by NOEL HOWLETT
Produced by John Cardy
First of ten instalments
They said people didn'want war plays. There was no love interest; scarcely any plot, and there were no women in the cast. Every theatre manager in London turned it down-at first. R. C. Sherriff 's autobiography is the engrossing account of how an obscure young insurance agent came to write Journey's End, and got swept overnight into fame and fortune.
Music at Night is at 11.20 on Radio 3: Third
