Radio Sheffield - The Ballad of Don Valley and Myrtle Springs

Paul was recently asked by the BBC to contribute to the Rony Robinson show on Radio Sheffield, which he duly did.

The Ballad of Don Valley and Myrtle Springs revolves around Donald Valley, perhaps the last of the great Actors to still be doing the rounds trying to scrape a living on past glories.

The play opens as Donald and his Daughter the long suffering Marie approach the Starlight retirement home, where Donald believes he is to be playing a gig. Little does he suspect that he is indeed to be left there.

On arriving he recognises an old flame called Myrtle Springs which sends his heart fluttering and his daughter wondering if this is the woman who causes the break-up of her parents marriage.

Rony Robinson as Peter, Ray Hearne (on sound effects) with Kate Linda Home as Marie and Paul as Donald all had quite a laugh performing the opening of this new play for the first time.

This was first Broadcast on BBC Radio Sheffield on 7/1/09.
