The Monday Play: Serjeant Musgrave's Dance

on BBC Radio 4 FM

The last play in the Dramatic Revival series.
A serjeant and three soldiers arrive in a strike-ridden northern town during the winter time, 100 years ago.
Ostensibly they are there to find recruits, but, in fact, they are deserters, and the serjeant is obsessed with a passionate belief that he must wake his countrymen to the futility and brutality of war.
