Afternoon Play: The Owl Service

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Alan Garner, dramatised by Matthew Bailey.

When Alison traces owls from the pattern on a dinner service, the paper owls disappear and the plates go blank. Mysterious events become frightening in this classic reworking of the Welsh Blodeuwedd myth.
