The Monday Play: I am Mary Dunne

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Brian Moore, dramatised by Derek Mahon
with Liza Ross as Mary

Mary is a Canadian living in New York. She has gone there to marry a young English playwright, leaving old attachments behind her. In one day and one evening, at the hairdresser, in the street and at home, she finds the past and present mingling awkwardly in her mind. She describes her anxiety and confusion - the familiar companions of her life.

(Repeated, Sun 2.30 pm)
