The House on Highbury Hill

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

A comedy for radio by Piers Paul Read
Music composed by Julian Slade
with Richard O'Callaghan, Pauline Collins, Maria Aitken

Casimir has just left a seminary without becoming a priest. He goes to a house on Highbury Hill and there meets two sisters. The choice between the spirit and the flesh is not an easy one - for Casimir still has a conscience.
