Sebastian Shaw in 'SIDING 273'

on BBC Home Service Basic

by Val Gielgud
Of the British Army of Occupation in Austria:
Of UNRRA: Of the Russian Army of Occupation in Austria: Displaced Persons:
Production by Val Gielgud
The action takes place during the winter of 1946 in a small village near the Yugoslav frontier in the zone of division between the British and Russian armies of Occupation in Austria.
The circumstances have mercifully changed since then, but, with more than a million refugees still in European camps, it is felt appropriate to revive the play in this World Refugee Year.
