Folly | Saturday Night Theatre | Chesterton Radio Theatre Live

The BBC radio play "Folly" by Malcolm Stewart is a psychological drama that explores themes of obsession, isolation, and delusion. It revolves around a man named Andrew who becomes increasingly fixated on the construction of a grand, impractical structure—a folly—on his property. The play delves into his descent into madness as the folly becomes a symbol of his unraveling mental state.

Throughout the play, Andrew’s obsession with the project strains his relationships, particularly with his wife, whose attempts to confront the growing tension only lead to further alienation. The structure of the folly itself, both a literal and metaphorical edifice, symbolizes Andrew's desire to create something monumental, even as his personal life deteriorates.

"Folly" explores the fragility of the human mind and the impact of unchecked desires, leading to a dramatic and intense conclusion. The play reflects on the dangerous allure of ambition and the human tendency to retreat into self-destructive fantasies when faced with personal crises.
