This 'lost' play by Patrick Hamilton is a Victorian psychological
thriller last seen on the stage in 1945. The play is the second of
Hamilton's to feature Inspector Rough, who first made his name in
one of the author's best-known works, Gaslight. Miss Ethel Fry, the
titular governess, has taken a position in the Drew household where
she quickly begins to manipulate all those around her. Things
become murkier when the family discover that their baby son has
been abducted, presumed taken by gypsies, throwing the entire house
into chaos and suspicion. As the family try to adjust to their
devastating loss, the eagle-eyed Inspector Rough arrives on the
scene out to prove that this case is far from resolved.5 women, 6

Young Robinson Crusoe has a burning ambition to be a sailor. Paying
no attention to his parents' warnings he runs away to sea to embark
on a series of thrilling adventures: struggles with Barbary
pirates, a shipwreck and the extraordinary meeting with Man
Friday... Roy Marsden plays the older Robinson Crusoe looking back
on a life of recklessness, daring and adventure - and the survival
of twenty-eight years, two months and nineteen days on a desert
island. Based on the real-life adventures of Alexander Selkirk,
Robinson Crusoe was one of the very first adventure stories to be
published in English literature. It remains as gripping today as it
did on first publication in 1719, and this enthralling
dramatisation perfectly evokes the excitement and adventure of the
original book. 2 CDs. 2 hrs.
