People Don’t Do Such Things by Ruth Rendell

Posted by william warren on February 25, 2017 at 8:57am

Dramatised by Mike Walker from a short story by Ruth Rendell.

It is 1979. Britain is in recession, the dustmen and gravediggers on strike and rubbish is piling up on the streets.

For Arthur, a middle-aged, middle-of-the-road accountant in a small firm, life is a little dull and predictable - but he is happy with his lot. He assumes his wife Gwen is too. But when a new client, the charming and successful writer Reeve Baker, steps into their lives offering a tantalising glimpse of another world, Arthur and Gwen's domestic bliss begins to crumble.

Cast:

Arthur...... Reece Shearsmith Gwen...... Laura Pyper Reeve...... Michael Maloney Other parts are played by Rachel Atkins and David Holt

Sound Design: Steve Bond

Directed by John Dryden A Goldhawk Production for BBC Radio 4.
