Attracta by WILLIAM TREVOR with Mary Wimbusb
Kate Binchy , Kevin Flood and Allan McClelland
' She didn't know he was dead, not even missing. She opened the biscuit-box, maybe thinking it contained a present. Can you see her doing that? Can you imagine her, a girl in a flowered dress.pausing as she hurried out to her office, her fingers tearing off brown paper? '
An old Irish schoolteacher reassesses her life. 'There are the three places: Belfast. Haslemere and that town.'
Directed by MICHAEL HEFFERNAN
(First broadcast in 1977) The resources of radio were wonderfully stretched by this play which a strong cast brought to life. (FINANCIAL TIMES)
