Albert's Bridge
by Tom Stoppard
Synopsis
In Tom Stoppard’s award-winning first full-length radio play, a philosophy graduate named Albert is employed to help paint the cantilevered railway bridge spanning Clifton Bay.
However, Albert spends as much time and energy on philosophizing as he does on painting, until his wife feels ignored and the council becomes concerned about the cost of the project.
Witness what happens to the bridge – and to Albert’s dreams – amidst a suicide, a miscalculation that leads to rusting and a quick-fix of more than 1,000 additional painters.
