Afternoon Play: The Last Piano Player

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Eric Pringle.
It is 2020, and technology rules supreme. One of its successes is The Simon Swain Show, in which contestants fight for survival in a desperate bid to justify their existence. Meanwhile, in an empty Norfolk seaside resort, a lone piano player plays to his dead wife. His life is transformed when he is invited on to the show.
