Nick Payne - The Day We Caught the Train
David is coming to spend the day, and Sally has planned it meticulously. But when he finally arrives, she is hopelessly unprepared. With Olivia Colman and Ralph Ineson.
BAFTA winner Olivia Colman, star of Broadchurch, Rev and a score of other hits, heads up the cast in this quietly intense play about Sally, a woman beset by one problem after another.
Rain, a problematic car, a problematic cat and Harold - everything seems to conspire against Sally to prevent some quality time with David.
Written by Olivier Award nominee and Devine Award-winning playwright Nick Payne.
First broadcast on Radio 4 in July 2011.
