Set in 1812, "Actress in High Life: An Episode in Winter Quarters" by Susan Petigru King-Bowen transports listeners to Portugal, where British officers navigate the complexities of duty and family. As Lady Mabel Stewart journeys from Scotland to join her father, Lord Strathern, in Elvas, the charming Colonel l'Lisle emerges as a central figure in this richly detailed narrative. The story offers a vivid exploration of the landscape, history, and social dynamics of the era, while also delving into themes of faith and liturgy that provoke thought and discussion among the characters.
