The Afternoon Play: The Kamikaze Ground Staff Reunion Dinner

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Stewart Parker
Winner of the 1980 Giles Cooper Award and Prix Italia nomination

"You've done your damnedest to deride and defile the historic spirit of the Kamikaze Special Attack Force.... well let me tell you that spirit is not dead ... and by God I'm going to demonstrate it to you this very night!"

"Stewart Parker takes the basic ingredients of middle-aged war-nostalgia and sets them in Japan, brilliantly...." (Paul Ferris: The Observer)
(A Radio Scotland/Radio Ulster co-production)
(Stereo)
