Summary

J.B. Priestley's Private Rooms - A One-Act Comedy in the Viennese Style was first performed in 1953. Ralph Richardson stars as Max Talley, an ageing Austrian actor who invites a lovely young ballerina to dinner in a private room at a Viennese restaurant. His motives are not wholly altruistic.

"Theatre Royal" presents classic radio dramas featuring lading actors and first broadcast by the BBC around 1952-3. This was the only radio series to star Laurence Olivier. Featured actors also include Sir Ralph Richardson, Alec Guinness, Robert Donat, Michael Redgrave and Orson Welles.

Old Style Classics

Old style classic for those who still appreciate the 'Hollywood' theatre of yesteryear.

One of JB Priestly's lesser performed short stories.

This is OK for what it is Very Old Fashioned & not PC so I imagine not
many will relate to this style today.
