Second performance: Thursday at 9.25 p.m.

Second in the play cycle entitled 'The Promised Years' by Iain MacCormick.
The action takes place in Berlin during the time of the air-lift.

Sergeant Kutsky met Anna in 1945, in that farmhouse near the little Italian village that was unnecessarily destroyed. He sought her parents' permission to marry her and promised to come back to claim her. All that happened in The Liberators.
Now Kutsky and Anna are married but still in Europe. Anna has had none of the ease and security she expected from marrying an American. Instead of a house and a car in the U.S.A. she finds herself "in a two-roomed apartment in a nasty little German town". For the Berlin air-lift is on and Kutsky is often away. Is it surprising that Anna gets lonely?
