The Afternoon Play: Quartet

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Derek Kartun
with Graham Blockey as Anton

The Quartet is the most famous in the country and is all set to make its first tour outside the Iron Curtain. But political ideology and art make uneasy bedfellows, and Anton, the leader, is forced to make a terrible choice on behalf of his colleagues, whether to conform and obey - or face the consequences
