A few lines from a play which have been driving me mad for years!?

Question

It is play within a play and might have been on the radio. The characters are about to listen to a religious service on the radio. They turn it on. "oh it's started" "we stand here, I think". Then the radio says something like "Let us pray for weevils and that round things roll". Obviously I think that it was a modern playwright [Wesker?] and was - perhaps - poking fun at the then tendency to get away from sacred language in church but can anyone give me any help to find it? I feel it's a forlorn hope but there is a wealth of educated talent out there!!

Answer 1

Hi Davy,
Good grieif, you have jogged the old memory cells.
I believe that it was on the BBC World Service when I was in a remote part of the Mid-East in 1986.
Possibly Wesker, the author, but it could have been Whisker.
The box was a bit crackly, on top of mountain in a tent !
I thought it that it said "Lettuce Spray"
Have a word with BBC archives, perhaps ?
I hope it is not a forlorn hope to track it down, and have it re-broadcast.
Cheers,
Bob.
