A beautiful and magnificent heartbreaking ghost story set in the midlands over a period of fifty years-a lament and a celebration of a way of life that can never be again
As an elderly lady makes tea late at night she becomes aware of a PRESENCE. Is it her subconscious or is it something even more fearsome? A dialogue begins as the PRESENCE shifts from a genial re?ned gentleman to a small town middle class lady to someone else entirely, a ?gure from the FUTURE. And always to the strains of EILEEN DONAGHY’S hit parlour song,THE BRIDGE BELOW THE TOWN recorded many years ago on
the Fontana label 1958 and played all day on Radio Eireann!
