The Ambassador

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

A Political Satire by SLAWOMIR MROZEK translated by SLAWOMIR MROZEK and RALPH MANHEIM
The day starts badly for the Ambassador when he mislays an important item of clothing before an official engagement; the situation is exacerbated when his wife threatens to leave him; becomes upsetting when he loses contact with Washington; worrying when he is presented with a globe of the world which has half the continents missing; and positively alarming when an unknown, un-named man breaks in seeking political asylum.
Directed by MARTIN JENKINS Mono
