Afternoon Theatre: Daughters of Men

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Jennifer Phillips

KATE: I know you never finally admit responsibility for anything. You just sit there, don't you? A little tin statue, a graven image, waiting for it all - sacrificial offerings - whatever they might be. A bit of steak and kidney, a devotional display, some wholemeal bread, garlands, a hole in one, a severed head, a first-born child...
DAVID: How is she?
KATE: Go and look at her - if you like.

But the nature of responsibility is overall more subtly distributed in this ironic study of marital breakdown.

(Judi Dench, who is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company presents Moonshine: 11.15 pm)
