Afternoon Theatre: The Cradle Man

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Andrew Tyrrell
with T.P. McKenna as Quinn, Maggie Shevlin as Anne, Frank Grimes as Fadden, Sonia Fraser as Miss Walker

One's lonely, two's company, three's a crowd... Anne has come to London from her native Ireland with her baby son, hoping to make a fresh start.
Lonely and overwhelmed by the responsibilities of motherhood, her life is full of problems. The two other lodgers in the boarding house where she stays begin to take a keen interest in her - but they both have problems of their own.
