Tom Stoppard's The Dissolution of Dominic Boot is part of Radio 4's Celebrating Stoppard collection. Dominic needs to pay his taxi fare, but to raise the money he needs to travel across London, in a taxi. The fare keeps rising, and so does the panic. Fifteen minutes of early Stoppard: sharp, funny and already fully himself. This is a 1978 production of his first play for BBC Radio, written in 1964. Dominic ..... Derek Fowlds Vivian .....
