The National Broadcasting Company presents Transcribe Sir Lawrence Olivier in Theatre Royal. This is Lawrence Olivier. We have before now turned to the novels of Charles Dickens and taken from them sequences as a basis for our radio play.

Today's play comes from the same magnificent soul. The setting is London and Paris at the time of the French Revolution, the book, The Tale of Two Cities. The sequences we've chosen will be familiar to you, and I myself shall be playing the role of Sidney Cotton, which makes two men so exactly alike that one may pass for the other, which

throws those men together through love, then allows the death of one to buy the life of the other, as mine shall do to more than Sidney Cotton dies, that Charles Donnie may live. How did it all begin?

Those ten long years ago, that day in court, when I first saw Charles Downey, yes, when I first saw her, for Lucy, for a dear sweet girl, how she trembled for him even then, how obviously she loved him, how she feared for his life.

For his life was at stake, that time no less than this. fate first threw us together. Then Charles Darnay was on trial for treason. Oh, Miss Manette, have you any conversation with the prisoner on your passage with him across the channel from France? Yes, sir.

Recall it. When the gentleman came on board... Do you mean the prisoner? Yes, sir. Then say the prisoner. When the prisoner came on board, he noticed that my father was very in and week. He had been unjustly and prison in the bestie in Perry for many years.
