The Wire: Three Five Silly Twerp

on BBC Radio 3

By Jack Klaff. Peggy suffers a stroke. Then,just a few months later, as if in sympathy, her husband Don has a stroke, too. Same part of the brain, same limbs affected, speech affected in very similar ways. Peggy ends up withjust two all-purpose words while Don is left with only one expression. Jack Klaff explores the ability of love and personality to triumph over the loss of the powerto speak.
Director David Ian Neville
