A radio comedy by Ian Stuart Black
Cast in order of speaking:
Produced by Archie Campbell
The scene of the action is somewhere, perhaps almost anywhere, along the sunny shores of the Mediterranean, in the Count's luxurious summer chalet set exquisitely among the vineyards and mountains, where there is nothing to disturb the peace except the war. It is not a large war, but it is, none the less, an important business to the assorted officers of the revolutionary forces who have commandeered the chalet to prepare an ambush.
The Count and Countess are old-world aristocrats who accept the inconvenience with reluctance and disdain, regarding their unwelcome house-guests as more revolting than revolutionary. They deplore the plan to dynamite the bridge down the road. on the ground that it not only is an offence against civilisation and culture but will make an appalling mess of the garden and countryside. There is also the consideration that the benign and elderly General in command of the oncoming Government troops is a distant but well-loved cousin. And while these questions are engagingly debated, the Count's daughter is falling in love with the revolutionary leader.
There are situations and themes here such as Bernard Shaw , in his time, might well have chosen for satirical illumination, and, in fact, some occasional evidence of the sprightly Shavian influence is perceptible in Mr. Black's work.
