WWII PoW Escape Story.

Stalag Luft III was designed to be escape proof. Forty or
more tunnels were discovered under construction before
this one succeeded.

The tunnel's start point was concealed at a position in view
of the camp guards. It was opened only when a vaulting horse
was placed over it. The vaulting horse was carried to and from
the concealed worksite each day. Inside the horse were the
tunnellers, and, after a day's work, tunnel cuttings.

While the miners dug, other POWs used the vaulting horse for
its original purpose - physical exercise.

The production captures a feeling of paranoia and alienation.
It's less good on some of the characters, who are played with
a touch too much English sang froid [old chap].

On the whole though, it's well worth the listen.
