The Monday Play: Some Kind of Hero

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by LES SMITH
Poetry by LINTON KWESI JOHNSON As a result of intensified bombings Martial Law has been declared in Northern Ireland.
Tension is high. When a Private shoots his Commanding Officer every effort is made to find out why he committed such a seemingly motiveless act.
Private James has little faith in their ability to understand.
Directed by KAY PATRICK
