The White Lady - BBC Saturday Night Theatre - R. E. T. Lamb

A ghost appears to haunt the local manor house in a Gloucestershire village. But the ' tricks ' which the young villagers indulge in get badly out of hand.

Beautifully written! Thank you!

[@kristinburke7080]

Enjoyed this production. ❤

[@casper1959]

Really wonderful and so sad. Thank you for posting this.

[@kathleenellenford4816]

Thanks you!!

Synopsis: An emotionally disturbed young man is the son of a prominent business owner in an English town during the WWI era. Unsuccessful at relationships, he keeps to himself and manages to avoid military service due to his pacifist views. When he decides to emerge from his shell and mix with the locals, he is hazed unmercifully by a few envious gents until he is befriended by a gregarious harlot. As he teeters on the brink of sanity, circumstances combine to alter the course of his life.

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Much obliged James. ! Anything with " gregarious harlots " sounds very inviting .!

[@hsoderberg9929]

Do you think Lucy is a harlot? Did the men hire her to talk to him?

[@jamesmatthews4151]

@@hsoderberg9929 No, the guys did not pay Lucy to talk to Jeffrey. Harlot does not always imply receiving payment. I used that word because that was her reputation in the play. Lucy subtly acknowledged this. You have to listen closely to get all of this.

[@Gillby47]

A very comprehensive synopsis,thanks for taking the time.

[@MrBazzabee]

Lovely play James.

[@thomasbaillie-carrigan3100]

Many thanks for your uploads G.K. All the best for 2021.

[@johngreene7928]

Well worth a listen. Brings you back to England 100 years ago. Better times, and I really do love those local accents. Story is very good. Not far fetched like a US movie. Just the goings on in a small village. 10 out of 10👍

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Imagine The Archers : but even less realistic and with local inhabitants who are even more brain dead than in Ambridge. ? If you have any painting to do - watch it drying instead of listening to this. Be more interesting...

[@mareeschollum2986]

What horrible people to terrify and spoil that gentle mans dreams

[@francesmcmillan7596]

You've saved me from listening to something.

[@ajcbng8289]

I enjoyed the performance. ❤️ But, so sad. ☹️

[@jacquiadams863]

So very sad

[@katieclarke1352]

Really good that was. Thank you.

[@joannekaiser1380]

That was a very sad story. 😢

[@samsum3738]

9 out of 10 . Very good .

[@evelanpatton]

Human jealousy & trickery can be meaninglessly cruel- vampirism of a sort, sucking the life from another to feel empowered. Why we have the word evil (live backwards).

[@leciabella9461]

🤔

[@harriettemacy7399]

Yes, well said Evelan 💔

[@jamesmatthews4151]

Evelan, very aptly put. I wholeheartedly agree.

[@leciabella9461]

I usually check to see what everyone say in the comments.... the sadness mentioned is very intriguing 🧐...

[@jacquiadams863]

This was so painful to listen to. Such cruelty and ignorance.

[@morganlowe3353]

Wow how sad 😭

[@gabep6848]

This one may be my least favorite radio drama due to extreme sadness

[@followyourheart7818]

Listened to this before I went to bed and couldn't sleep as the upsetting ending haunted me.

[@rosebud3971]

👍👍👍

[@roarroar2808]

Did not like the ending enjoyed the it anyway the reading kept my interest thank you

[@freednb]

very good ! bit sad as well though :(

[@leciabella9461]

Sad??? Just started listening 👂...I’m intrigued

[@freednb]

@@leciabella9461 I thought so yes ! ha ha what did you think in the end?

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Interesting themes explored but first 15 minutes is like a caricature of a particularly bad episode of the Archers .! Mummerset accents , yokels quaffing cider etc.. Get through that and it's worth a listen.!

[@awnaur0no919]

srsly bruh, they wont stop eatin & drinkin wtfff 🙄😒🤨 "MUH KIPPERS MUH CIDER" DO SOMETHING ALREADY AGGGGGHHGGGGGHHHH 😤😤😤

[@lindarodriguez3740]

B O R I N G! I'll stick to American stories. Much better!

[@VickersDoorter]

Bye!

[@mkunes2502]

Beautiful. But, I will admit that I thought John Cleese would gallop into frame with coconuts. Python has ruined my sense of expectation.
