Superb!

Another gem from radioannouncer. For those unacquainted with the play allow for a slowish start and let its wonders wash over you. Rattigan may be out of fashion but that doesn’t stop his work being excellent and this production is outstanding.
Thank you!

What adds to this production to me is star power, though understated. It was produced during a very different era in British Radio. Many thanks!
