The Monday Play: Stevie

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Hugh Whitemore
Glenda Jackson as Stevie with Mona Washbourne as the 'Dragon Aunt'
"I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning."
Those lines from one of Stevie Smith's most famous poems sum up something of the mixture of sadness and gaiety which ran all through the life of this extraordinary and brilliant woman.
Featuring Peter Egan at The Boyfriend, David March as The Friend and Hugh Dickson who tells the story.
(A World Service drama production)
