The Plays adapted for the microphone and produced by Ivor Herbert McClure.

An Unwilling Martyr
A Jest in One Act by Anton Tchehov.
Translated by Constance Garnett.
The People in the Play are:
The Father of a Family.
His Friend.
The action takes place in a flat in St. Petersburg.

Followed by
A Fool and his Money
A Wayside Comedy by Laurence Housman.
Tim, a Meditative Ragamuffin.
Tony, a Younger Ragamuffin.
The Fool.
The play takes place at dusk on the sort of road on which one does not want to be alone after dark.

Was Guy Fawkes really Guy Fawkes or another person of the same name? This problem is set before you in the new microphone play, "Johnson".
(Ivor Herbert McClure)
To reveal the cast now would be to give away the secret.
