Afternoon Play: Piaf and Cocteau

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Annie Caulfield, starring Simon Russell Beale and Frances Barber.
A touching play that charts the little-known relationship between Edith Piaf and Jean Cocteau, an artist as acclaimed in the literary world as Piaf was in popular music. It was a friendship that lasted until their deaths within hours of each other.
