Sunday Play: The Love of a Good Man

on BBC Radio 3

By Howard Barker.
On the battlefields of Flanders, shortly after the First World War, a commissioner for graves is regulating the mass burial of the fallen soldiers; a grieving mother is searching for her lost son; and the Prince of Wales is about to pick out the Unknown Soldier. Scabrous, erotic and immensely funny, the power of Barker's language shines in one of his most accessible and refreshing plays.
