Saturday-Night Theatre: Gliding with Mr Gleeson

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Bernard Farrell
with Alan Barry as Sean Gleeson

Sean Gleeson is not given to acts of gross irresponsibility. As middle-aged advertising executive in Dublin his cultivated image is quite different. One morning. however, he decides to give up his family and take up hang-gliding. An hour later he is 1,500 feet above the Irish Sea - without training and certainly without responsibility. They drove him to it of course.
