Willie by PADDY BATESON Read by Patrick Brannigan
' One Saturday I noticed a young fellow who seemedabitdifferent from the rest. He was a pleasant-looking lad of about 11, with a pair of the bluest eyes I've ever seen. Many a time I caught him making a boy replace something he'd nicked, and they always took heed of what he said.' His name was Willie Walsh.

Operatton Elvis by c. P. TAYLOR
Tim Healey a* Malcolm ' That's who I am! Elvis, Elvis Presley ... I mean. I know I'm Male Robson. but I'm Elvis Presley , too. You'll see what I mean when I start telling you my story.'
The whole production a model of restraint and powerfully Imaginative resonance.... Tim Healey 's Malcolm a virtuoso performance ... Brian Hogg 's Michael brilliantly judged.
