A Radio Play in Two Scenes by M. Tydfil Richards.

Scene 1. A typical Welsh kitchen, which is also the living - room of the Lewis menage. Bronwen is a bustling, capable housewife, whose thoughts rarely venture outside her own household.
Her sister, Mary, is of very different mentality. Her restless spirit is warmed by the fires of youth and enthusiasm. She has wit, brains and some unusual quality in her cosmos that has yet to develop.
Thomas John is a poor creature without initiative, whose thoughts and actions are dependent on the strong will of his better half.
It is 11.0 a.m. Bronwen is preparing dinner. Mary enters and the Play begins.

Scene 2. Seven busy years have rolled away, and, thanks to Bronwen's business instincts, Thomas John has prospered. In the sitting-room of their smart new villa, Bronwen awaits the arrival of Henry Steele, a famous author, who is presenting a Young People's Institute to the Town. Tom enters and the Play continues.
