The People’s Friend Presents… For The Sake Of The Family

The People's Friend Presents For The Sake Of The Family by Alison Carter

History repeats itself in this bittersweet story by Alison Carter, set in the Seventies, as The People’s Friend Presents… For The Sake Of the Family.

How could Ray make his grandson see that
they were doing what was best for his future?

Terry Wale is our reader for this nostalgic story. A Londoner by birth, Terry’s career as an actor, director and occasional playwright covers six decades, and includes visits to the USA, Canada and New Zealand. Having written a number of plays for television and radio, he went on to write his first stage play about the life and career of Judy Garland for his wife, Lesley Mackie, whose performance in the West End of London won her a Laurence Olivier Award in 1986. Terry has also recorded more than 200 audio books. He and Lesley now live in Perth where they first met as actors more than 40 years ago.
