NOTES
Radio 4 has commissioned Faith Hope and Glory an ambitious new series telling brilliant intimate domestic stories that together illuminate the emergence of modern Britain. This first week of 15’ dramas lays out the origin story that in 1946, Hope and Jim’s baby, entrusted to Eunice to take home to Antigua, is lost at Tilbury Docks, and found by Gloria and Clement, a celibate couple, who decide to keep her and call her Joy. Joy’s life spans the entire series, up to the present day.

Roy Williams has written the series of five 15’ plays to kick off, which is shortly followed by three 45’ plays – Clement and Gloria by Rex Obano, Hope and Jim, by Roy, and Faith and Trevor by Winsome Pinnock.
