Afternoon Play - The Gallery

A second chance to hear Alan Plater's final play for radio. The opening night of a new Tyneside art gallery is thrown into jeopardy by the well-meaning but ill-trained staff. Dodgy wiring, an over-zealous cleaner and a retired greyhound add to the comic mix. Trevor ... Joe Caffrey Liz ... Janice Acquah Michael ... Deka Walmsley Heather ... Caroline Guthrie Julie ...
