Join us for a delightful adaptation of Margery Sharp's "The Foolish Gentlewoman," presented as part of the Sybil Thorndike Festival on the BBC Home Service. This charming play, adapted for radio by Donald McWhinnie, takes place at While Lodge, the home of Isabel Brocken, a sentimental English widow.

In this light and humorous tale, Isabel opens her doors to a diverse group of friends and relatives who have been displaced by the war. With a talented cast including Preston Lockwood, Walter Fitzgerald, and Mary Wimbush, this production captures the essence of Sharp's unique storytelling style.
