Agatha Christie Radio Drama - The Rose and The Yew Tree

Famous for her ingenious crime books and plays, Agatha Christie also wrote about crimes of the heart under the name of Mary Westmacott. The Rose and the Yew Tree is set in a Cornish seaside town, during the election of 1945 when it was assumed Churchill would be re-elected as Prime Minister. It’s the story of an enigmatic young woman, Isabella, who everyone expects will marry her cousin Rupert, the returning war hero. But she becomes seemingly intrigued by the working class opportunistic parliamentary candidate, John Gabriel. Agatha Christie flouts all the known rules of love and class only to then reveal the tragic results of such behaviour. The play explores the true meaning of their love as it exists on its own unmatchable and uncompromising terms. Cast: Hugh Norreys ... Richard McCabe Teresa Norreys/Milly Burt ... Selina Cadell Capt.
