Afternoon Theatre: Sweet Sixteen

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Joe Moore left Belfast for the Merchant Navy when he was in his teens.
Fourteen years later a chance reunion in a London pub with his childhood sweetheart seems just a fortunate coincidence to Joe. It is, though what neither he nor the other customers in that busy pub realise is that it will be, literally, a matter of life and death.
