by Winifred Carey from a short story by Susan Ertz
Produced by Howard Rose
Here is the story of Gracie Fuller , who, left alone in the Post Office and General Stores kept by her aunt in a small village, completely loses her head. But then circumstances are against her. The road is closed to traffic, and a gathering fog is ushering in the dusk. Her friend Beryl insists on keeping an appointment with her boy-friend. Her aunt, who has gone shopping in the nearest town, rings up to say she has missed the last bus and cannot get home until late. Then Gracie takes the fatal step which leads to all kinds of trouble and gives the play its apt title of Frenzy.

(A Gaelic concert)

played by Antoni Sala (cello)
Gerald Moore (piano)
Antoni Sala was playing on the concert platform at the age of eleven, and while still in his teens he was appointed cellist to the Court at Madrid. In 1914 he went to America and after five years as a concert artist, suddenly gave up music altogether, and embarked on the open-air life of a farmer. But after three years of hard life, the claims of his abandoned cello were too strong to be resisted, and two months practice set him again in his rightful place as one of the great players of our time.
Gerald Moore is one of the first three or four finest accompanists in Britain.* At the same time he is a gifted solo pianist, but as such he is rarely heard except when playing sonatas with famous violinists and cellists.
