...unpretentious tricks and a couple of good characters. For the characters of Bernard Baxley and George Radfern in Laburnum Grove, Playwright Priestley may be forgiven almost any of his dramatic shortcomings.

Constantly engaged in a verbal scrimmage with his dowdy wife, he eats bananas all day long, wears dirty golf clothes and is a sponger by habit.
