A Day By The Sea By N C. Hunter

N.C. Hunter

A Day by the Sea, written by N.C. Hunter and adapted by Mollie Greenhaigh, explores the loves, hopes, and fears of a Dorsetshire family over the course of a single day by the sea. This delicate, poetic play captures a Chekhovian sense of loss and personal isolation, set against the backdrop of a distinctly English group of characters.

Featuring performances by Wendy Hiller, Michael Hordern, and others, the play is both gently comic and profoundly tragic. Directed by Graham Gauld, it was originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4 FM.
