Saturday-Night Theatre

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Death and the Dancing Footman by NGAIO MARSH dramatised by ALAN DOWNER with and Jonathan Royal is a man rich enough to indulge his somewhat extravagant sense of the theatrical. But when he hits on the bizarre idea of throwing a weekend party with guests who have good reasons to loathe one another, his malicious comedy quickly turns to tragedy.
Directed by DAVID JOHNSTON Stereo (R)
