No Hangover
T Your Service, a play by C. Gordon Glover, which was heard from 2YA on a recent Wednesday, was something of a let-down to those listeners who, seeing a Glover play listed in the
programmes, tightened their intellectual foundation garments and sat up like Jacky for their periodic culture injection. It was quite a nice little play, but quite an ordinary little play. Gone are the ‘days when Mr. C. Gordon Glover regaled us with free verse of his own creation, filled us with half-sensed halfglimpsed images of the demi-monde of our own unconscious fantasies, At Your Service had only the NZBS cast, and a certain sprightliness of invention in common with, earlier Glover plays. These, of coarse, were enough to make it slip down easily, but I for one fegretted the absence of that feeling of heady over-stimulation that was once a hangover from any Glover play.
