Afternoon Play: The Discourse of Two Once-Young Women

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Three old friends from schooldays during the war plan to meet up - something desired by the two women involved, who yearn for, yet fear, a reunion. Why are they so nervous? What can have changed so radically? Their male friend acts as a conduit, but none of them could have anticipated the circumstances of their meeting. Written by Jane Beeson.
