Annarees by MARGARET HARRIS with Gail Lidstone Jennifer Piercey and Peter Wickham
Janie is a lonely child with a vivid imagination. She receives a present of a sampler dated 1823 and embroidered with the name Annarees. Gradually the shadowy figure of the dead Annarees begins to take substance for Janie, bringing with it release from loneliness and danger.

Prunella Scales and Anna Massey in Against All Natural
Instincts by JOAN LOCK
' When the women patrols and Women Police Service began listening to cases in court - as part of their training - the magistrate was furious. He said it was against all natural instincts and they were " suffering from some sort of moral obliquity" - whatever that was.'
November 1978 is the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Metropolitan Women Police. In this play, the author-herself an ex-wpc - tells the story of the personality clashes between the leaders of rival groups struggling for recognition during their voluntary efforts throughout the First World War. (For cast see Mon 3.5 pm)
