Samuel Beckett 's radio masterpiece recounts Mrs Rooney 's walk to and from the railway station of a rural village in Ireland, where she plans to meet her husband from the train. The play is suffused with an atmosphere of decay, sterility and suffering, and-unsurprisingly- the train is late. When Mr Rooney eventually arrives, his story of the journey provides no explanation forthe train's mysterious delay. Until a young boy called Jerry appears.
