BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Rudie van Meurs, translated from the original Dutch play by Kees van Vlaanderen.

Simon is 12 years old, growing up in a small Dutch village by the sea As the great floods of 1953 engulf the town, it seems to Simon that justice is not being served, judging by who survives and who does not.
