The Saturday Play: The Walsall Boys

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Nick McCarty. It's 1892 and a group of Socialists in the Black Country town of Walsall are targeted by both the Fenian Branch and a group of International Anarchists. The secretary of the local Socialist club, Joe Deakin , becomes drawn into events beyond his experience and quickly gets out of his depth. Atrue story of political and social intrigue.
Director Peter Leslie Wild
