Ada
Embers is a radio play written by Samuel Beckett first broadcast on the BBC Third Programme on 24th June 1959. Henry's father ended his life in the sea and for the rest of his life Henry is doomed to the sound of the waves roaring in his ears. For twenty years he has talked incessantly to drown the tempest of his father's watery grave. His wife, Ada, chatters and listens and endures; his child goes through the incidents of a child's life and still the sea roars in the background. (Concord Theatricals)
