This was Sylvia was a 1957 Australian radio serial by Coral Lansbury.[1]
Lansbury said there were two main types of serials – one about a noble woman "with whom the listener can identify herself", the other "about a monster who will have the effect of catharsis on the listener, and inspire her to feelings of rage and hate and contempt."[2] This was Sylvia was the latter, about a woman who robs her mother and marries her best friend's fiancé. (Another serial of Lansbury's, Jean Hammond, was the former.)[2]
