It is 1795. As war spreads across the globe, Harry Ludlow joins the struggle for the richest
trade in the world. When half his crew is illegally pressed into the Royal Navy by the vicious
Captain Toner, Harry sets off in pursuit. Toner's ship reaches the West Indies with Harry close
behind, and they sail into a maelstrom of piracy, corruption, and murder, stirred up by a French
privateer. Soon, the British officer in charge of the station calls upon each man to help as
best he can. All the while, Harry's kidnapped crew fights for survival on a ship driven to the
point of mutiny

About The Reader
Peter Wickham was bitten early by the travel bug, coming to England from New Zealand as a child.
He has worked all over England and Wales in repertory and is determined to work more in Scotland!
Acting and directing aboard the Q.E.II took him from Singapore to Venezuela, and a short season
in Istanbul followed. In 1990 he directed and appeared in a revue on a tour of Czechoslovakia.
Many TV appearances started in Dixon of Dock Green (during its later years!) and include most
recently A Sense of Guilt. But after theatre his favourite medium is sound; he has been heard
many, many times on radio, in plays, reading poetry, short stories and serials.
