The Wednesday Play

1965 NR 1h 12m 7.1

Fragments of the life of three working-class women, and the people around them, in South London in the 1960s. Scenes in homes, streets, pubs, prison and their workplace cover family, friendship, romance, sex, and abortion.

From the BBC's 'Wednesday Play' series, this play was the first to seriously tackle the issue of abortion. It paints a realistic portrait of working class Londoners at work and play, but has a potent political agenda.
