Robert Goddard - Take No Farewell Geoffrey Staddon had never forgotten the house called Clouds Frome, his first important commission and the best thing he had ever done as an architect. Twelve years before the day in September 1923 when a paragraph in the newspaper made his blood run cold, he had turned his back on it for the last time, turned his back on the woman he loved, and who loved him. But when he read that Consuela Caswell had been charged with murder by poisoning he knew, with a certainty that defied the great divide of all those years, that she could not be guilty.
Alan Bennett - Forty Years On Bennett stars in a new production of his own acclaimed satirical comedy. In this play within a play, the Headmaster of Albion House takes part in the end-of-year entertainment for the last time before his retirement. It exposes the timeless misunderstanding of one generation by another.
