La Tcrcera Palabra
A romantic comedy by Alejandro Casona translated for radio by JOE BURROUGHS with Barbara Jefford
Fabia Drake , Betty Hardy and Nigel Graham
First performed in Buenos Aires in 1953, the play is set in no particular locality-except that it is Galicia rather than Andalucia-and in no particular epoch-except that it is neither the present nor the too distant past. The action takes place in an old country house near a river where mountains brood over a smiling valley. The time progresses with the seasons of the year.
Characters in order of speaking:
Produced by H. B. FORTUIN

My Friends the Miss Boyds by JANE DUNCAN abridged by Pamela Gravett
Read by GUDRUN URE
Produced by John Cardy
First of fifteen instalments
' I felt that people could not have it both ways. If to be an old maid was laughable and undesirable, was it not praiseworthy of the Miss Boyds to try to get married? Also, if men did not want to marry them. why did they not keep away from them? '
