The Apple Tree

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by JOHN GALSWORTHY dramatised for radio by JANE BENSON , with Jeremy Clyde as Frank Rosalind Ayres as Megan Emily Richard as Stella
To starve oneself emotionally is a mistake. If you speak of emotion to the English, they are shocked. They're afraid of passion, but not of lust - as long as they can keep it secret.'
Galsworthy's short story, written in 1916 when he was living on Dartmoor. is based on a local legend. A young undergraduate. on holiday in Devon, becomes fascinated by a simple country girl. He plans to take her back with him to London, but a chance meeting with friends of his own kind forces him to think about the implications of what he is doing. Robert GEOFFREY BEEVERS
Directed by CHERRY COOKSON
