THE WIDOW'S MITE

BBC Home Service
on BBC Home Service Basic

A short storv by C. B. Gilford dramatised for broadcasting by WILFRID GRANTHAM with Esma Cannon
' Wouldn'it 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
