Drama Now: The Iceberg

on BBC Radio 3

by Stewart Parker
with Joe McPartland as Hugh and Stephen Rea as Danny

Hugh: "Don't be soft: the Titanic was built for John Jacob Astor and his millionaire Yankee cronies. I didn't notice them inviting the mayor of Belfast on the maiden voyage. Take a walk round the decks and ask all the tycoons you meet where the ship was built - ask that couple there even. I guarantee you that nine out of ten of them won't have a notion."
Danny: "That doesn't matter. I know, and I'm proud of it."

(Northern Ireland) (Repeat)

"...Carried disturbing and moving echoes of Ulster's political tragedy." (The Guardian)
