| | Henry Reed radio drama - DIVERSITY |
 | | The critic, Reeve, whose name no-one seems able to catch, meets some very odd characters indeed and makes disconcerting discoveries, which in no way shake his reverential approach to his subject..............before long, we realise that the title of the programme is a little ironical, to say the least. |
 | | Reeve was played by Hugh Burden, Shewin's brother, Stephen by Carleton Hobbs and the other parts were played by Gwen Cherrell, Vivienne Chatterton, Diana Maddox, Marjorie Westbury, Frank Duncan, Norman Shelley, Susan Richmond, Mary O' Farrell, Harry Hutchinson, Cecile Chevreau, Dorothy Primrose, Denis Quilley, Wilfrid Downing and Derek Hart. |
 | | Poor Reeve is no match for Miss Tablet and by the end of the play he finds himself committed to working on a 7-volume critical biography of the ebullient 'composeress', who never so much as considers that "no" might be an anwser. |
