Over the Rainbow by Bernard Kops

Radio 4 Extra celebrates the 75th birthday of the actress Maureen Lipman as she takes the starring role in Bernard Kops’ tale of sadness amidst the glitter.

To escape from the cold realities of life in Maida Vale, Sandra lives in the fantasy world of the Hollywood films of her childhood, an obsession shared by her close friend, Stanley. Then one day, she discovers her married lover, Malcolm, is unfaithful to her...

"What would Joan Crawford do? She would take a sharp, jagged bread-knife. Cut. With a look of grim determination on her face she drives along Finchley Road. Cut."

But what will Sandra do?
