by BRIAN FRIEL
Norman Rodway as Frank June Tobin as Gracie and Warren Mitchell as Teddy
' And the people who came, what is there to say about them? ... They knew in their hearts they had not come to be cured, but for confirmation that they were incurable: not in hope. but for the elimination of hope ... to seal their anguish.' A tragedy treated with a deft lightness of touch so that the story unfolds and the characters are drawn with humour and reality ... It is hard to believe that it was not originally written for radio, so smoothly does it fit the medium.
