The Monday Play: When the Barbarians Came

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Everyone remembers what they were doing when the Barbarians came.
Marcus was in bed with Julia that afternoon. They watched the Goths enter the Imperial Gate on the television, while the sound of the crowd cheering the arrival of the enemy came across the park. A political thriller by Don Taylor.
