Anna's Story
(A Love Story)
The premiere of the first play for radio by poet
George MacBeth , who died a year ago.
In 1897, three Swedish explorers set out in a balloon, aiming to be the first men to reach the North Pole. Their heroic struggles are nothing compared with those of Anna, who awaits their return.
Director Jeremy Howe
