'At some time in everybody's life there is a small voice within telling him what he should or should not do. At times of great stress it is ever-present. Around this universal happening Denys Burrows has built a gripping drama, Wattle Road. Clive had always loved Mary; in fact, it was an all-consuming love that flared into overpowering jealousy if Mary entertained any of their friends. After five years of marriage Mary finds it increasingly difficult to have any friends at all, and in desperation she decides to adopt a child, hoping that this new move will curb the jealousy of Clive. However, her numerous visits to the one house in town only give the gossips and that insistent voice in Clive's make-up more food for thought.'
