The Sunday Play: Talk of the City

on BBC Radio 3

Stephen Poliakoff 's haunting play questions how the newly emerging
BBC responded to the growing crisis in Europe in the late thirties. In
Broadcasting House, the Variety and Talks departments join forces in a humorous but deeply poignant attempt to inform listeners about events in Europe. A radio version of the acclaimed RSC stage production, written and directed by Stephen Poliakoff.
