Some Tame Gazelle by BARBARA PYM dramatised by JOAN O'CONNOR with Ruth Goring and Jane Wenham
Barbara Pym is thought by some to be the most underrated writer of the century.
Two spinster sisters in a small village, their romantic ffutterings and a visiting bishop form the basis for a demonstration of the delicate wit for which she became noted.
