Escapade - BBC Saturday Night Theater - Roger MacDougall

The BBC Radio Saturday Night Theatre play Escapade by Roger MacDougall is a comedic drama about the twists and turns that occur when a seemingly ordinary evening takes an unexpected turn. The play centers on a middle-aged couple, Charles and Violet, who are enjoying a quiet night at home. However, their lives are thrown into disarray when a chance meeting with an old acquaintance, accompanied by an unexpected series of events, leads to a series of misunderstandings, humorous situations, and unexpected romantic developments. Roger MacDougall was a Scottish playwright, screenwriter and director. MacDougall began writing the occasional screenplay in the late 30s, working both alone and in collaboration with others. Most of his plays were produced during the 50s. As a screenwriter, his best-known films are The Man in the White Suit (for which he received a 1952 Academy Award nomination) and The Mouse That Roared. He was a cousin of Alexander Mackendrick Saturday Night Theatre was a long-running radio drama strand on BBC Radio 4.
