An early radio play by Nick Fisher…
“Fisher's plays are always interesting though sometimes rather macabre.” (VRPCC newsletter,
1998)
Over the past twenty-five years Fisher has made a mark for himself in radio horror and mystery,
with dramatizations that include a 1982 adaptation of Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado,” two
scripts forFear on Four(“The Turrning of the Tide” and “Chimes of Midnight”), “Playing with
Dracula,” and his sometimes very macabre “Julie Enfield” detective series.
Once considered a “lost play,” this broadcast is now listed as a “found” item by the Vintage
Radio Programme Collectors’ Circle.

[
“…Cummings is pleased with the way his interview is going.
Mr. Wheeler seems to have taken a liking to him—to the extent that the
other applicant for the job surely won’t stand a chance. But Rowena plays
a special role in Cummings’s life. This is a strange tale of vampyrism, the
business world, and married life…”]
