The Boy with a Cart

on BBC Radio 4 FM

As a celebration of the 85th birthday of Christopher Fry, this re-broadcast of his 1977 play is preceded by The Holly Berries Are Just Reddening, a birthday "garland" presented by the actor George Baker.

The Boy with a Cart tells the story of Cuthman, who bumped his mother in a cart from Cornwall to Sussex until they came to rest in the village of Steyning.
