Английская Википедия:Drift (radio play)
Drift is a 1941 Australian radio play by Thomas Wainwright.[1]
Gilchrist was a sailor and based the play on his own experiences on a route to Nauru.[2] He wrote a number of short stories over the years.[3] His other radio plays included You'll Write to Irene[4] and The Pilgrimmage.
Leslie Rees called it, and Gilchrist's Aphrodite, among the best plays of the year.[5]
Premise
"Drift gives a graphic pictures of the "nerves' on board a ship drifting day after day on the equatorial current of the phosphate island of Nauru, and culminating in death and mutiny. Written by a man who has him-self sailed the seven seas and commanded his own ship, Drift has the authentic ring and flavor of life aboard a tramp steamer."[6]
