The Friday Play: Twenty Cigarettes

on BBC Radio 4 FM

nAs smoking becomes increasingly "outlawed" in public as an anti-social, masochistic habit,
Marcy Kahan 's comic play follows Oscar's efforts to give up, which include aversion therapy and looking back at the 20 most significant ciggies of his life. There's a lot at stake: his girlfriend Suki has agreed to marry him only if he drops his lifelong companion - the cigarette.
Producer/Director Saly Avens
