A play for the microphone

There are distinct signs of the evolution of a new technique for the broadcast play and Cardiff’s production of ‘Disclosure’ on September 5th is an interesting development. The play, written by Captain Ivor McClure D.S.O. and O. Wyndham, deals with international intrigue in an up-to-date setting and the machinations of a scientific schemer provide a thrill which is sustained till the call of ‘curtain’.
