The Afternoon Play: A Man Alone: 1: Anthony

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Three plays by Andrew Rissik
with Ronald Pickup as Philip Tremayne
Benedict Taylor as Anthony
Tessa Peake-Jones as Laura
and Patrick Troughton as Philip's father

Philip's friends consider him a success. He has written novels, produced television programmes - made a name for himself. But he is dogged by a sense of failure and by the recollection of a friendship that started at prep school in the 1930s, when he first met Anthony. A friendship that was to go tragically wrong.
