The Saturday Play: The Franchise Affair

on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Josephine Tey. The Franchise is a dark and ugly house on the outskirts of the village, inhabited by two women who keep themselves to themselves. When they are accused of abducting and torturing a young girl, people begin to take notice, and local solicitor Robert Blair finds himself involved in the most extraordinary case of his life.
Producer/Director Ellen Dryden
