DEAR HARRY KANE, 2.15PM, RADIO 4
HARRY KANE appears at
the end of a Tottenham supporter’s bed. Has Harry come with a message, or does the fan have a message for Harry? Hiran Abeysekera (pictured) gives a heartbreaking performance as Nisal, a Sri Lankan who was thrilled to come to Qatar and be involved in building one of the World Cup stadiums where his football hero would one day play — but has ended up working like a slave. This brilliant play by James Fritz catches the pride football fans around the world feel about their club, and the shame of the grim conditions under which those bright, sparkling new stadiums have been built.
