Invitation to the Waltz by ROSAMOND LEHMANN dramatised by MICHAEL VOYSEY with Angela Pleasence
Olivia hadn't yet found herself - couldn't - could not put herself together. all of a piece. During a period of insanity she had accepted, with alacrity, with excitement, an Invitation to a dance - her first dance. But now, on the day. she realised what she had let herself in for -to be neglected, ignored, curiously stared at and partnerless: solitude in the midst of crowds.
Music arranged and directed by MIKE STEER
Directed by JANE MORGAN (First broadcast in 1978) long wave only
