Knowing exactly what the German military were saying to each other by secret code - deciphered by a British copy of the Enigma machine - was the ' ultra secret ' of the Allies during the last war. But what use was made of this intelligence, and can it be asserted that some battles were won largely because of our detailed knowledge of Nazi secrets?

by Christopher Hampton

With Ian Holm, Tom Conti, Michael Pennington and Anna Massey

A new treatment of Christopher Hampton's famous stage play, re-written by him specifically for radio. The main action of the play is set in Brazil in 1970, and deals with the kidnapping of an embassy official by revolutionaries, which is sharply contrasted with the horror of the bombing of the Cintas Largas tribe during the performance of their funeral ritual in 1963. In Christopher Hampton's hands this becomes an intensely moving and vital social drama.

(Anna Massey is in "Donkey's Years" at the Globe Theatre, London; Glyn Grain is a National Theatre player)
(Stereo/Binaural)
(The full binaural effect of this programme can be achieved by listening through stereo headphone's)
