Play in Three Acts by George Ross and Campbell Singer
Saturday Night Theatre was a long-running radio drama strand on BBC Radio 4. The strand showcased feature-length, middle-brow single plays on Saturday evenings for more than 50 years, having been launched in April 1943. The plays featured in the strand included stage plays, book adaptations and original dramatisations. For most of its history, programmes ran for 90 minutes and were largely entertainment-centred, such as thrillers, comedies and mysteries.

British industrial capitalism as it used to be in the late 50s and 60s. All very "gentlemans club", complacent and just ripe for aggressive takeovers, which were largely asset-stripping exercises, which happened a lot around that time and later. Even Ted Heath talked about "the unacceptable face of capitalism". Look up that, and "Slater Walker". Well, be that as it may, this was an excellent play, and as has been referred to, this was suspense without violence. Very entertaining. Thank you very much for uploading.

Peter Powell's production adapted for radio by David Turner with the Alexandra Theatre Repertory Company, Birmingham Somebody on the Board of Directors is a traitor! - and the enemy has involved an old-established firm in a take-over bid. To fight it or not to fight it? That is only one of the exciting questions posed in this unusual thriller set against a background of big business.

But we're also in a 20 year drought, so lots of devastating wildfires going on at the same time all over the state. I live in an urban area, so have been unaffected personally except for air quality (smoke). But it's a difficult situation for many people. And there will be water shortages.

I do wish you’d have provided a disclaimer to the toss-off use (twice) of the “n” word. A great story, well told, but ruined by the inclusion of the word that continues to promote racial bigotry. (I am a 69 year old “white” man.)

steviegaga, I don't approve of your modern awareness judging the past and this is a play from 1960. A 100 years earlier women were chattels until a new law in 1867 gave women the right to own property instead of being property that others could own. You might for the same historical reasons disapprove of slavery, but that was what the world used to be like, and it isn't anymore. So please confine your disapproval to contemporary people behaving badly and leave our ancestors alone, as they have contemporaneous reasons for their speech and behaviour.
