Miriam Margolyes in The Dumpling (Boule de Suif) by GUY BE MAUPASSANT translated by H. N. P. SLOMAN adapted by ELIZABETH MORGAN
A handful of privileged citizens share a coach in their flight from occupied Rouen during the Franco-Prussian war. Among them is a pretty, plump young woman whose profession scandalises her aristocratic and self-centred fellow travellers - though they need her bargaining powers.
The first radio dramatisation of one of Maupassant's most famous stories.
Directed by MARGARET ETALL Preview: page 15
