Saturday-Night Theatre The Three Daughters of Monsieur Dupont

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by BRIEUX (1858-1932) translated by ST JOHN HANKIN adapted for radio by JAMES DUCKETT
A ' comedy so true to life we have to call it tragi-comEdy' (Bernard Shaw ), this unjustly neglected play deals with Monsieur Dupont's plans to arrange the lives of his three daughters to his own advantage. In the process, Julie, his youngest, discovers truths more recently publicised by Women's Lib.
