Afternoon Play: Tarnished Wings

on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Carolyn Scott-Jeffs . In the First Word War a pilot hangs between life and death as his plane hurtles towards the ground. A strange vision, combined with echoes of the poems of Jeffrey Day, helps him to come to a decision about whether to live or die.
Meanwhile, in 2003, a young heroin addict reads
Day's poetry and contemplates suicide. She is transported by a reluctant angel back to 1917 where they find the suicidal pilot. An ultimately uplifting play.
Producer/Director Peter Leslie Wild
