by J. B. Priestley
with Joan Plowright and Leslie Sands
As a tribute to J. B. Priestley in the year of his 80th birthday, Radio 4 presents the cast of the recent National Theatre production in a stereophonic radio version of the play he described as one for which he had "a special tenderness like that which some parents feel for a certain child."
Although Eden End was written In 1934 it is set firmly two years before the Great War. The action takes place in the home of an elderly Yorkshire GP, confronted with a complicated, coincidental family reunion at a time when he sees England and himself coming to the end of an era.
