THE VILLAGE

By Marghanita Laski

Synopsis

The Village begins on the very day the war ended. Two women, Wendy and Edith, who have been firm friends during the war, go as usual to the Red Cross Post. Here they spend the night as they always had done, chatting over a cup of tea. As dawn breaks they lock the door but still they linger, unwilling finally to end this night and the years behind it. This story is about the old and the new and the promise that a new labour government brought of a fairer future for all and no going back to the inequalities of the pre-war world.
