The Monday Play: The Shipbuilder

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Ken Mitchell
with Roy Marsden as Jaanus Koronkola

'He knew the mockers would come. He also knew that one day he would complete his work and the great ship would sail across the rolling plains. So amid the dust and howling wind, he laboured on his vision.'
The main action of the play takes place in Saskatchewan, during the Depression.
Music by ADRIAN SECCHI, CHARLES STODDART (percussion)
