Sunday Play: An Experiment with an Air Pump

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

By Shelagh Stephenson.
A psychological thriller set on the eve of a new century in 1799, in the house of scientist and political radical, Joseph Fenwick. The play probes the moral political certainties central to our history over the last two centuries and wryly questions our continually evolving imperatives as we enter the new millennium.
