9 Twice in a lifetime'
A sentimental episode for broadcasting by Julian Crane

1 The Baron's Room '
A macabre episode for broadcasting by Norman Edwards
Cast
Production by Val Gielgud
Twice in a Lifetime is a Julian Crane play rather in the same manner as Music at Night. It is a sentimental episode of the kind in which man meets woman out of context, and finds himself very much in context with her. The scene is a small London restaurant, and two missed dates give it its meaning.
The Baron's Room curdles the blood rather than kindles the emotions. Here is a short play in which the macabre rings the bell, and the evil spirit of medievalism reaches forward to take toll of the twentieth century. In an old house taken by Tom Crane and his daughter strange things happen, culminating in the strangest and most surprisingly horrible thing of them all.
