The Vet's Daughter by BARBARA COMYNS . dramatised for radio by SHIRLEY GEE with ' And then one night I dreamed that I was walking with bare feet in a garden filled with snow, and above my head I carried an open parasol. Across the snow an almost square astronomer walked towards me. He came so near that our shoulders touched and sparks flashed from us.'
' Alice Rowlands pretended to be able to levitate herself and the accident occurred when a crowd watching a performance of the trick got out of control.'
Produced and directed by DAVID SPENSER
(Shortened version of April's Radio 3 broadcast)
