Afternoon Play: A Face in the Crowd

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Morag wants a hardworking Irishman who will make her laugh. She writes to Willie Daly , the last real-life matchmaker in Ireland. Craigie, a charmer and a rascal, also contacts Willie. In Marc Jobst 's blend of documentary, drama and improvisation, Willie Daly plays himself and introduces these characters to each other during the actual Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival of County Clare. Whispering poems in her ear Craigie sets about wooing his innocent Morag. Poems by Ian McMillan. Director Marc Jobst
