20) Improbable Frequency, by Arthur Riordan and Bell Helicopter

very kindly sent me the script for this excellent musical comedy, set in 1941 and concerning the adventures of an innocent code-breaker sent to Dublin by British intelligence, who ends up dealing with John Betjeman, Myles na gCopaleen, Erwin Schrödinger, and Ireland’s secret weapon. Some great one-liners – the staff of the British Embassy sing a number with the title “Be Careful Not To Patronise The Irish”; Schrödinger unsuccessfully pursues a woman who scolds him “Don’t you wave your filthy particles at me”. I do wish I’d been able to see the stage version, and perhaps the sound track will become commercially available some time. Anyway, , thanks for letting me experience it even through the rather flattened medium of dead trees.
