🎭 Listen to the original Saturday Night Theatre production first:
Every reunion tells two stories.
One is about the person we have come to see.
The other is about the person we have become.
In this special Chesterton Radio Deep Dive, we journey beneath the surface of the BBC Saturday Night Theatre production Long Time No See to explore why reunions are among life’s most powerful experiences. Through the lens of G. K. Chesterton, we discuss memory and reality, friendship and forgiveness, nostalgia and gratitude, and why ordinary conversations often reveal extraordinary truths.
Rather than reviewing the play scene by scene, we ask the larger questions:
Why do we remember the past differently than we lived it?
What makes some friendships survive decades while others quietly fade?
Why do reunions awaken both joy and regret?
What might Chesterton have seen in this gentle but deeply human drama?
If you’ve ever unexpectedly crossed paths with someone from your past—or wondered how time has changed you—this conversation is for you.
Pull up a chair at The Little Station on Commercial Street in Atchison, Kansas, where old stories still have something new to say.
