Sunday Showcase
SUNDAY SHOWCASE next week will be introduced by the roar of powerful engines, the whine of superchargers, and the miscellaneous sounds associated with the dangerous but diverting sport of motor-racing. The play will be Jon Manchip White’s The Last Lap, the story of Peter Wellington, a once-great | driver who is losing whatever it is that makes men risk their lives for the thrill of speed. A British playwright, Jon Manchip White began writing for radio in 1949. His original works include Apocalypse, A Question of Honour and The Pistol Shot. He has also adapted a number of stories for radio, including War of the Worlds and Things to Come, by H. G. Wells, and Epitaph for a Spy and Journey Into Fear, both by Eric Ambler. The last-named has been broadcast here recently. The Last Lap plays from all ZB stations at 9.35 p.m. on Sunday, September 5. " —
