Three-part story of poisoning
On April 18, 1876, about 9.30 p.m. Charles Bravo began to scream in agony in his bedroom at The Priory in Balham. Three days later he was dead, in circumstances that provoked unprecedented legal scenes at the time and have puzzled writers ever since.
The latest to fall victim to “The Balham Mystery” its Ken Taylor, who provides his own solution in “The Poisoning of Charles Bravo,” tonight on Network One in the first of a series of three plays dealing with a case that was a national and, indeed, international sensation.
The enigmatic Florence Bravo is played by Maureen O’Brien, with Robert Harris as Dr Gully, Paul Darrow as Charles Bravo and Freda Dowie as Mrs Cox.
“The Poisoning of Charles Bravo” directed by John Glenister, is a 8.8. C. production.
