Sunday Play: The Hole in the Top of the World

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by Fay Weldon
Starring Walter Matthau
Matt, an aging scientist, is walled up in a concrete igloo in Antarctica with his nubile young research assistant Nina. His wife Simone is on the warpath. With vegan toy-boy Andrew in tow, she is crossing continents to wreak her revenge on Matt. But
Matt's mind is on other things. He has come to the conclusion that all the most noble ideas of the 20th century are being sucked out through a hole in the ozone layer.
