The Afternoon Play: A Man Alone: 3: Harriet

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Three plays by Andrew Rissik
with Ronald Pickup as Philip Tremayne
Brenda Blethyn as Jennifer
and Jane Leonard as Harriet

After 15 years Philip and Jennifer have settled into marriage in the same way that he has settled into his job as a television producer. Drink, he finds, helps considerably. So does Harriet. But in the end both Harriet and the whisky let him down. Only then, with props to help him, can Philip see the pattern that stands out so clearly in his life.
