Clump, Squeak, Spit and Heave

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

As Romeo declares undying love to Juliet, the spittle flies back and forth. At the end of Hamlet, the stage is littered with corpses, all with chests heaving. But the audience doesn't mind. Paul Allen investigates our ability to ignore all this in our appreciation of the arts, with help from Jonathan Miller , John Williams , Timothy West and Prunella Scales. Producer Julian May
