Sweet Sorrow - BBC Saturday Night Theater - Ronald Barnes

[@CollegeMan69]

A play that has a beginning, a middle and an end - a joy to listen to and can only leave the listener wondering how it all developed in the weeks that followed.

[@heliotrope6217]

Thanks so much for this, I enjoyed it very much. Saturday night theatre was always ironing time.

After polishing the lino.

A great Play one of the best I have listened too ..Thankyou

[@emcarver8983]

Even the music at the beginning is beautiful and brings back so many memories.

[@emf49]

I read the comments first so anticipated the duplicity but not the final twist! Bravo Miss Pierce. 😅

[@sylvia6785]

Absolutely brilliant. What an ending. Such a superb twist at the end. Double, triple crossing all over the place.

[@lindabrown253]

That was so good.Thank you

[@annemaxwell9975]

Yes, a good story topped with a twist at the end.

[@jordsupp]

Very amusing. Thankyou.

[@stevie-ray2020]

Love the twist at the end!

[@helenferullo5706]

Excellent indeed. Thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful play😊

[@TMelody]

Thank you for sharing this drama! Worth every listening second! The governess doesn't have a 30 year old voice. Sounds 40.

[@alicecobb7763]

Forty plus

[@Angela-cc1hd]

Even 50+

[@stevehammett2008]

Most of the voices in these radio dramas sound older than the characters they portray.

[@christrinder1255]

A very clever and well thought out play! Many thanks for posting 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍😊

[@eddiemunster2196]

How I wish ther were a part - 2 to this play ! It would have been EXPLODING !!!

[@84CORVETTEBILL]

Exploding? What are you filled with lil guy? 💥 🤯

WHEN PLANS GO AWRY... GOOD STORY -))

[@81fish1]

Well this was great. Sorry for the wife but a delicious ending for justice.

[@kimberlykasimoff1447]

Just met the husband and here's hoping he has a heart attack soon! It will be interesting to see how this story goes.

[@jwsuicides8095]

Brilliant!

I have a collection of wonderful radio plays that I would like to share How does one go about it without encountering problems regarding copy right infringements? infringement infringement infringement

[@enriquebonifacino9939]

Gripping story from beginning to end.

[@rosebud3971]

The pomposity and idiocy of the English Upper Middle CLASS. Miss Peale does not miss a beat, "...but if you find me in any way unsuitable, it would be best to say so now" He does not a clue about her subtle insolence. She plays him like a fiddle.

[@ysel6287]

This is a play - comments might be better suited to the writing style, characterisation or theme. Particular views on a perception of 'class' seem a little naive, given the time in which the piece was written. Example: Telling us that Henry VIII wasn't very kind is a bit unnecessary!

[@84CORVETTEBILL]

@@ysel6287 I agree with your observations…. That said? Perhaps the fact that his individual got SO wrapped up in the characters is a compliment !

[@ysel6287]

@@84CORVETTEBILL You are right! I suppose I am more used to genuine critiques, but perhaps unfair given the global listeners.

Adults doing children's voices - irritating .

Its like rebecca..

[@honeyfungus4774]

This is a very silly story. There's more holes in it than in a fishing net.

[@garyboyle695]

That's how real life tends to pan out, it's full of uncertainties and unexpected turns.

[@willowwobble]

Unless I got the plot wrong Elisabeth is the pompous man's illegitimate daughter and yet they are flirting and planning to kill the wife and marry! Surely not.

[@TMelody]

Step daughter. There's only an 11 year age difference from what I ascertained.

He fell into the trap of revenge for her mother's death! While he burnt the envelopes & thought he'd destroyed the love-letters, they were with her solicitor all the time!

[@emcarver8983]

Right. Why don't you bloody spoil it for other people then?

[@emcarver8983]

Someone please tell me the husband is the one that's murdered 😏

[@deegeraghty3421]

Sexist drama.

[@jeremypearson6852]

I don’t think anything set in this era would be different.

[@anaderol5408]

Are you suggesting that all fiction written in the past which accurately portrays the socials norms of the times in which the work was written BUT offends current beliefs and practices should be burnt? Before you answer that, pick up a history book and learn who advocated book burning in the past.

[@johnneville403]

@@anaderol5408 Burning? Nobody but you suggested "burning" this drama. The commenter accurately pointed out that the drama is sexist (and not very well written, either). And yet, you're lecturing her? Before you answer, perhaps examine your own behavior.

Eeek! How creepy. interesting unravelling. thanks for sharing
