The Monday Play: Backstop

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

'I know Jack is in a mess but I won't tell Mother. It's the protection racket. She keeps everything that might hurt us from us, and we keep everything that might hurt her from her. It's an emotional co-op with fantastic dividends. Pain does not exist. Everything in the garden is always lovely.'
