WILLIAM BEDFORD RADIO PLAYS
THE PIANO PLAYER, a first radio play by William Bedford (R4 1415 28 Jan 03) was set in the 1950's ; a pianist's marathon performance in a seaside town provides entertainment for those who have nothing better to do...but there are romantic undercurrents; the glamorous pianist has a past, and so does Mr. Universe, the fish-and-chip man. The young Daniel and his ill-suited girlfriend Alison watch events and each other with bewilderment...Karl Johnson was Daniel, Philip Jackson was Mr. Universe, and Kate Dudley played Alison; the director was Ned Chaillet.
