Three Ivans, Two Aunts and an Overcoat: 4: The Nose

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A series of six absurdly comic plays by Jim Peyser, set in 19th-century Russia.

Major Kovalyov wakes up one day to find his nose has vanished. As if that weren't bad enough, he later sees it walking around St Petersburg- disguised as a state councillor.
