A Hyperbolical Anachronism by Maurice A. R. Horspool
Cast
Time, 54 B.C. (or thereabouts)
Place, Tyneside (or thereabouts)
Produced by Cecil McGivern
(Stagshaw Programme)
Maurice Horspool , who has written this comic-history extravaganza of Ancient Britain, will be remembered as the author of Guineas for the Ghost. Originally, the play was written for the stage, hut the radio adaptation retains all the entertainment bound up in the plot-the tale of a brontosaurus, intent upon making a meal of women and children. Listeners will learn how the legionaries and the Britons tried to rid themselves of the menace by building a wall.
