As his cries for help and leaky lifebelt are ignored by passing cruise ships, his wife pleads with the National Help-You-Out Year Committee to save him.

In preparation for the charity fatigue we all feel in the run up to Christmas, This first London revival is the ideal antidote as the winter nights draw in.
