THE WIDOW'S MITE

BBC Home Service
on BBC Home Service Basic

A short story by C. B. GILFORD
Dramatised for broadcasting by Wilfrid Grantham with Esma Cannon
' Wouldn't it be lovely to see a bit of life for once, with nice things to eat and a bed you could really sleep in? ' So mused Mrs. Owen alone in her dingy bed-sitting room, with its broken-down furniture and faded curtains. How the old lady realised her ' glorious hour' is the little secret behind this play.
Produced by Archie Campbell
The recorded broadcast of September 13, in the Light Programme
