The Saturday Play: Royal Court 50 - The Sea

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A season of six ground-breaking plays to mark the 50th anniversary of the English Stage Company at the Royal Court Theatre continues with Edward Bond 's comedy, set in 1907. A young man drowns off the east coast of England. For some this is a simple tragedy; for others, a sign that aliens are invading. Madness and amateur dramatics compete in this rnmpriv set on the oath to redemption.
L Helen Crayford (piano); Producer/Director Alison Hindell
