A play by Rodney Ackland, adapted from the novel by Hugh Walpole
Years ago there was an old rickety building on the rock above Polchester in an old, grass-grown square - and in this house at one time or another lived three old ladies. It was a windy, creaky. rain-bitten place…

Narrator: Peter Williams
Produced By: Charles Lefeaux

Agatha Payne: Edith Evans
Lucy Amorest: Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies
May Beringer: Sylvia Coleridge

The Old Ladies, which was first produced at the New Theatre in 1935, deals with a phase in the life of three elderly residents of a Polchester boarding-house. Those who think that the common human emotions are dead in the very old will find much to disillusion them in this story of the private hopes and fears of three very much alive people.
Edith Evans plays the original part that she took at the New Theatre.
