Summary:
In this adaptation of Henry James study of deceit, Ralph Richardson stars as Oliver Lyon, a portrait painter visiting a country house in Hertfordshire. There he finds Everina, the woman whom he has once loved and of whom he still thinks fondly. Now she is married to the handsome Colonel Capadose, an inveterate liar. In fact, Capadose lies for nothing more than the pure enjoyment of it all.
Some weeks later, the Colonel asks Oliver to paint his own portrait and, such is his skill, the duplicity of the man resounds through the painting. Everina sees the picture and, both aware of the power of the portrayal and corrupted by her marriage, she destroys the painting that reveals the truth of her husband. The woman Oliver has loved has become as skilled a liar as the man she has married.
"Theatre Royal" was first broadcast in the UK in 1952 and chiefly featured Ralph Richardson and Laurence Olivier as narrators of classic fiction, adapted for radio.
