The Monday Play: Suffering Madonna

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Martin Walser, translated by Christopher Holme
with Ambrosine Phillpotts as Maximiliana and Alan Moore as Thassilo

Thassilo, a private detective with a mother problem, would dearly love to get his hands on the Lindau Piela, or Suffering Madonna, a valuable medieval statue. But first he must set out to charm its owner: a wealthy widow and 'suffering madonna' of quite another kind. The play is set in modern Germany.
BBC Bristol
(Repeated: Sunday 2.30pm)
