# Piers Paul The House On Highbury Hill

1 episodes.

A comedy for radio First produced as a BBC Radio play, The House on Highbury Hill was a macabre tale of a young man Casimir (Robert Prince), who stays at a seedy boarding house run by Ethel (Sarah Vennet), her mother (Elaine Hain), and their sister Marigold (Angela Bell). Casimir develops a shine for Ethel, but is eventually dissuaded from doing so by Marigold, who beds him instead. The two of them get married, but end up in an unhappy alliance with Marigold complaining all the time about her husband's lack of concern. Eventually Casimir is left to speculate on whether he made the right decision or not. Robert Prince's production focused on the nature of human freedom. Each scene was introduced by a narrator (Steven Perry), describing the time and place, suggesting that he had some degree of control over the characters. Casimir kept praying to God, as if hoping for forgiveness for his sins, but found none forthcoming

Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is.
