The orchestra of Ridley Road, a state school, is to give a concert in Moscow at the European Festival of Youth, playing Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony before an audience of cultural bigwigs. But their instruments have been impounded by Customs. Can Alex, the Russian boy who cleans the hall (and is a devout Pinball Wizard fan) come up with a plan to save the situation?
Written by Patrick Marber for the National Theatres's new writing programme, National Theatre Connections.
