Thirty-Minute Theatre: The Boat to Addis Ababa

on BBC Two England

by Gerald Wilson
From a story by Edward Etler
With Sandor Eles as Landau, Stanley Meadows as Jerzy, Murray Melvin as Wojciech

David Landau, a young Jew, has just escaped from the Warsaw ghetto and is picked up off the streets by two strangers. They take him to a hide-out where they offer him help; contacts, clothes, papers, and a route to freedom - provided David can pay. They give him an hour; one hour to find a friend with money. They sit him in front of a phone. This link with the outside world can bring either life or death. He begins to dial.
