LBC Internet Play of the Month

Going Away

by Paul Williamson


The Play:

Going Away was a winning play in the Woolwich Young Radio Playwrights' Competition in 1998.

The play features an elderly lady who reminisces about her life whilst packing her suitcases. But it turns out she's not just packing to go away on holiday - she's leaving her own home for the last time.

Going Away was our Internet Play of the Month, available in Real Audio throughout April 1999.

The part of Margaret was played by Veda Warwick.
