The Wednesday Play: Kippers and Curtains

on BBC One London

by Vickery Turner
Starring Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies as Florence, Angela Baddeley as Rene

Rene, the landlady of a boarding-house in a working-class area of London, is impressed when she discovers that her new boarder Audrey is 'The Hon.' The young girl finds the other inmates an odd collection...

"...was not without other interests than those naturally accompanying performances by Angela Baddeley and Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies. It was clearly observed and it reproduced natural conversation with fidelity." (Henry Raynor, The Times)
"...a dramatised agony column..." (Sylvia Clayton, Daily Telegraph)
