Episode Notes
The Weaver’s Grave by Seumus O’Kelly
In memory of actor Thomas Studley, a true virtuoso of the radio theatre, who appeared in a multitude of productions with the RTÉ repertory company, Drama On One presents The Weaver’s Grave by Seumus O’Kelly starring Thomas as Cahir Bowes. The drama narrates with deceptive simplicity the arguments of two old men over the proper site for the weaver's burial. As their absurd, comic controversy rages, new love and life begin for his youthful widow. Produced by Michael O hAodha, the drama won the Prix Italia in 1961 and also stars Eamon Kelly, Pegg Monahan, Frank O’Dwyer, Arthur Sullivan, Brendan Cauldwell and Henry Comerford.
