by CARYL BRAHMS and NED SHERRIN with Bernard Cribbins , Avis Bunnage
Jerry Verno
Marriage to a fading star of the Music-Hall was not all gain for young Mr. Tooley. Preferring the delights of oratorio to the crude vulgarity of comic song, and the attractions of unsophisticated companionship to the more mature charms of a middle-aged wife, Mr. Tooley finds himself on the horns of a terrible dilemma. When Fate steps in and resolves the issue in her own particular way, our hero panics and takes the first fatal step that leads to his undoing.
Cast in order of speaking:
and Stage-hands, musicians music-hall audiences, etc. played by members of the BBC Drama Repertory Company Music arranged and conducted by Alan Paul
Production by ARCHIE CAMPBELL
The action takes place in the Tooleys* house in Kilburn-at various London music-halls-at sea-and at the Old Bailey. Time: The early 1900s.
