Synopsis
Albert has a degree in philosophy and with a job as bridge painter has a new perspective on life up high. Through CPS and programmed efficiency, he replaces four painters and the bridge is all his. He also has to get married - but that's another story. He's bothered by a reluctant suicide and by 1400 additional painters causing the bridge and Albert's dream to collapse.

These two radio plays, orignally broadcast on the Third Programme, bear this out. Albert's Bridge (which the Times described as 'almost a text-book example of what a radio play ought to be' and which won the 1968 Prix Italia) turns the Sisyphean task of never-ending bridge-painting imaginatively to account in an exhilarating original way; the starting point of If You're Glad I'll be Frank is a man recognizing the voice of the G.P.O. speaking clock as his long-lost wife. ***It was with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead that Tom Stoppard made his reputation: the skill, intelligence and humour of these plays amply demonstrate that his success was not a matter of chance.' (Quote from blurb on inner flap). ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 6557
