Wow, I thought I had heard all the DdM plays made for radio. How thrilling to learn there may be others, such as this, I've yet to enjoy. Thank you FMD!
An intriguing idea brilliantly handled by Daphne ...and another illustration that she was NOT simply a writer of Cornish bodice rippers but her range extended from Historical romance to psychological thrillers to Gothic and Sci - fi. !! She wasn't the most stylish of writers which led to her being sneered at by Virginia Woolf and her little coterie of self appointed Literatti..!! In their minds - just like today - popularity was something to be despised.... something to entertain shop girls and bus drivers . Woolf"s ghastly snobbery is still evident in the various literary prizes awarded every year...! Can anyone name a Booker Prize Winner from the last 5 years...??
There is a place for both. I enjoy both of these great authors. The irony is that you are sneering at Woolf. Furthermore I believe that some popular literature, art and film should be despised. The absolute rubbish that people clamour for these day is beyond me. Cheap cgi movies, bad writing, terrible grammar, reality television, Banksy. All very very popular.
Daphne du Maurier was a brilliant writer, well ahead of her time. Thank you for these downloads

Bette Davis did this or something very like this...Hitchcock TV??
Thank you British taxpayers for funding these BBC radio productions 😂
That'll be licence payers
rather than taxpayers
