Afternoon Play: Dreams of a Working Man

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Brian Ackroyd 's life is on the skids. His partner has run off with his wife, he's bankrupt, and he's homeless. He chucks a mattress in the back of his clapped-out van and takes to the road, desperate to tell the story of his life to anyone who'll listen. The poetic story of an angry man tamed by an unexpected meeting with a young journalist, written by the novelist and poet Glyn Hughes.
Producer/Director Peter Leslie Wild
