Afternoon Theatre: Requiem

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Berlie Doherty
with Moir Leslie as Cecilia

Requiem follows the progress of Cecilia through convent school in the 1950s. Like the patron saint after whom she is named she loves music but is it a sin to give way to such a love, or is denial better for the soul? With all the intensity of a teenager growing into adulthood Cecilia tries to solve the contradictions she feels surround her.
