By Peter Tinniswood

Winifred Leslie, the Grande Dame of radio drama, lives alone and thinks she’s been forgotten.

But when she’s offered a part by a young producer at the age of 80, her memories come flooding back:.

She recalls her three marriages, appearing on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs – and being Samuel Beckett's muse.

Her companion in life is an old Bakelite wireless, which answers her back.

Cast:

Winifred Leslie …… Billie Whitelaw

The Wireless …… Christian Rodska

 

Directed in Bristol by Shaun MacLoughlin.
