Sunday Play: Easy Virtue

on BBC Radio 3

By Noel Coward, adapted for radio by Maria Aitken.
Larita is a woman with a past who has recently married John Whittaker, the eldest son of a highly respectable upper-middle-class family. Her arrival among his family provokes a clash with their sense of propriety. She fends off their attacks with wit and charm, until she loses control, and with it, her husband.
