New Representation and Mr Quinn's Show November 13th

I am very delighted to be joining Langford Associates, represented by Simon and Barry.

Our last showing of Mr Quinn's Radio Theatre was set on Remembrance Day 1923, 5 years after the Great War. Our wonderful audience joined a medley of war songs including 'Fall in and Follow Me' and 'If you were the only girl in the world.'

Miss Rita Hepworth, played by myself, read a poem by Rabindranath Tagore in honour of the more than a million Indian soldiers who died in the war. Poet, Wilfred Owen had carried this poem in his pocket notebook and recited lines when bidding farewell to his mother:

"When I go from hence, let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable." - Verse 96 of The Gitanjali, Rabindranath Tagore

Miss Hepworth had a difficult day as her current love, Lord Guinness clearly changed affections to Miss Lulu Long. Miss Hepworth revealed the tragic loss of lost her husband, Indra in 1918. Indra fought as India's first and only flying ace in the Royal Flying Corps. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service.

However, when it came to recording the poem on air, Miss Hepworth did not have the poem on her. Mr Quinn was very upset with her and Miss Hepworth was at risk of losing her place in the show. She explained that her mind was elsewhere and expressed that she had been unable to fully mourn the death of her husband, as society had urged her to toughen up and 'get on with it'. Mr Quinn replied that he too had lost during the war and would do his utmost to keep her on the show...
