A play by T. S. Eliot
1888-1965 arranged for broadcasting by Raymond Raikes with
Fabia Drake, Barbara Couper Dilys Hamlett and Gabriel Woolf
The scene is laid in 'Wishwood,' a country house in the North. One evening in late March.
Produced by Raymond Raikes who writes:
The Family Reunion has been described as a rare manifestation of the power of language to populate the theatre of the mind: it makes an exceptional impact, therefore. as Broadcast Drama. I regard it as a privilege on this occasion that I have been given the opportunity of revising and rethinking my earlier radio interpretation of one of the finest plays by this great poet of our times. The play was recorded and broadcast in the Home Service as a tribute to the late T S Eliot.
