Afternoon Theatre: Himself

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A play for radio by Anthony Grey.

A comedy set inside one human body - a vast bureaucracy where bright young living cells clash with their conservative superiors and the whole concern is run by the intellectual elite - the Brain Cells who inhabit the corridors of power. A crisis develops in the life of the Body concerned - Himself - and the cells react like the crew of a trapped submarine.

Special effects by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop
