This exciting and atmospheric play of circus life has the stamp of reality. It is the first work for broadcasting of Laurie Devine and her brother, Tom Rees , two well-known dancers who were born within smell of the sawdust ring. Their father toured Australia and the East with Wirth's and Pillis' circuses; the two children were born in Australia, and Laurie Devine started her career at a tender age as a contortionist. London acclaimed her in Cochran's On With the Dance; Tom and Laurie Devine became a favourite cabaret dancing act, and here they are breaking into radio playwriting.
