Celebrating Stoppard: The Voyage of the St Louis

Available for 28 days

Tom Stoppard's adaptation of Daniel Kehlmann's play is part of Radio 4's Celebrating Stoppard collection. In May 1939, over 900 Jewish refugees board the ocean liner St. Louis in Hamburg, their papers in order, their hopes pinned on a new life abroad. But the passengers of the St. Louis are not quite like those in other dramas. They already know how their story ends. And they're going to tell you themselves. At times darkly funny and at times devastating, this is an account of ordinary people caught inside an extraordinary failure of the world's conscience. Winner of Best Adaptation at the BBC Audio Drama Awards 2021. Based on the book The Voyage of the Damned by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan-Witts. Schiendick ..... Paul Ritter Schroeder .....
