The Wednesday Play: The Mark-Two Wife

BBC One
on BBC One London

by William Trevor
Starring Faith Brook and Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies

A mysterious, uninvited guest at a fashionable party gradually involves the other guests in her personal tragedy.
Novelist and short-story writer William Trevor has again written a play with a really strong leading role for an actress. His last Wednesday Play, A Night with Mrs Da Tanka, was especially praised for Jean Kent's performance. Tonight it's Faith Brook's turn in the role of the mysterious Anna.
