Purple Dust

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by Sean O'Casey

Two English gentlemen, one boasting money, and the other breeding, decide to settle with their Irish mistresses in the beautiful Irish countryside.
Unfortunately for them neither money nor breeding is any match for the wit and guile displayed by the native Irish. The results are both hilarious and tragic.
