Afternoon Play: Alice in Paris

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A surreal, comic parable by Elizabeth Lewis about the pitfalls of romantic fantasy. Alice is frightened of the reality of marriage to a Welsh asparagus farmer and runs away to Paris, still wearing her wedding dress. At first, Paris is exactly how she imagined it - romantic, artistic and bohemian. Will she come back down to earth?
Producer/Director Kate McAII
