After the Crime
RADIO has an advantage when it comes to murders; it can present a nasty murder quite nicely, even in the first person. The play I heard on Saturday, an adaptation of W,. W. Jacobs's His Brother’s Keeper, would have been unbearable seen as well as heard; the murder is over neatly in the first few moments, but we must traverse with the narrator the agony between commission and confession. Suspense, denied us in its more obvious ‘form since the plav was set in the condemned cell. was provided in plenty by the psychologic! struggles of the murderer-victim, Keller; and this role was so superbly acted that detachment was almost impossible. |
