by NEIL JORDAN
' You couldn't take the sheer banality of it all - the finding out ultimately that I was what I said I was - that I was a middle-aged spinster - and that I was ordinary in bed too - that I was a woman and hungry.'
Neil Jordan 's first play for radio is an account of the relationship between an atheist schoolmistress and a young cleric, and of their attempts to break the moral bonds created by a Catholic upbringing in Ireland.
