By Eduardo de Filippo, adapted for radio by Peter Tinniswood.

Twenty-five years after the end of the Second World War, Sergeant Major Ascanio is living inside a monument in Naples, where his mistress Sabina and the busker Paganini entertain a motley crowd of rogues and street vendors. Then something occurs that threatens the circus of their everyday life.
Music by Anthea Gomez, performed by the Composer, David Gregory and Nigel Woodhouse
