The Comedy on the Bridge Martinů

A bridge crosses the border between two countries. On each side is a zealous guard. With a pass you get out on the bridge, but no longer, because the pass does not apply at the other end. Nor does it apply to going back. One by one, the characters get stuck on the bridge and in this no-man's land, the action begins. 

Comedy on a Bridge  is a 1935 radio opera by the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu. The opera workshop's version of this comedy in classic form, takes place at the end of the Cold War in a place where everyone is tired of border controls. Life is marked by suspicion and espionage and everything is turned upside down when five people get stuck at the border and neither get back nor forth.
