    Superb acting, Dame Flora was always perfect & her voice held so much feeling, the rest of the cast were also marvellous.
    The writing was impeccable, in my mind I’m giving it a happy ending, just great & many thanks 🙏

    I'm glad I listened to it and I'm glad it's over. Whew! Such great performances on a difficult subject. Hard to imagine how dreadfully impossible it really was "in those days" for everyone involved. Ty.

    The chief subject matter underlying this play is rarely employed in this genre. The finale being absolutely gut wrenching. There really is no one answer. One must deal with their own conscience if found in a similar situation. The story plus the actors' skills are outstanding. Hi from Oz. 👇💜🙃

    Superb . Not my usual " thing" but I am glad I did listen to this great play. Every part was played by the best actors whether household name or not . Regrettably, I donot have the vocabulary to praise it as it deserves

    Synopsis: An attempted suicide at a women's prison sets off a chain of events that has very unfortunate results. This leads to a question of justice vs mercy....an extremely tragic story.

    I can't help feeling that what the husband said about and felt about the child was worse than what he actually did to her.

      I agree. He came off as horribly selfish and shallow.

    An enjoyable and robust storyline thank you. However, on this particular occasion I do not believe that the open-ended ‘allowing of the listener to arrive at their own conclusion’ was at all appropriate. Dame Flora, as usual, was most effective in her role. Thank you once again, regards, Dave
