This broadcast was enjoyable throughout. It made me think at the end of how the war started in 1914 after the assassination of the Duke Franz Ferdinand and my grandpa was invalided out, earning the War Badge in 1916 only to die at age 37 in a building accident. He left a wife and 7 children. Im sure many have similar stories. Thank you again , for sharing these wonderful productions
@@emcbride7453 thank uou! My dad grew up with nothing. They got clothes from 'the parish' I didn't appreciate these stories when I was younger. I feel so bad. He instilled work ethic into us. Probably coming from hardship. My aunts worked the munitions factories. Quite amazing
Originally broadcast Saturday 16th December 1961, David Peel in Beware of Pity by STEFAN ZWEIG adapted for radio by Gert Westphal translated by H. B. Guest. Other parts played by James Beattie and members of the BBC Drama Repertory Company Music by Peter Zwetkoff. Produced by Martyn C. Webster.
An interesting, complex and a very sad story. Being in a wheelchair I can relate to Edith. As far as I am concerned "pity" is the last thing I need. Anyway thank you so much for this Play.
