Stewart Parker Plays: Iris in the Traffic,Ruby in the Rain

on BBC Two England

The first of two plays shown as a tribute to the Irish playwright Stewart Parker, who died recently.

A wintry day in Belfast. Ruby has a cold, is caught in the rain and feels fed up with her job as a social psychologist. Iris is drifting through the day, looking for work and feeling lost in the traffic.
