More Actors' Words

Episode 1: The Love of Order

Duration: 15 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Anna Massey tells the story of a young woman finding her way in 1950s bohemian London.

More Actors' Words is a second series of stories written and read by three actors. A favourite actor's voice can become a familiar friend, so to hear such familiar actors reading their own work, revealing their own imaginations is a rare and entertaining privilege.

Anna Massey, James Dreyfus and Tracy-Ann Oberman take us to three varied worlds. As you listen to each actor read their story, you will be struck by how true their writing is to their voice and, at the same time, how surprisingly different each story is from any perception you had of that performer before the story started.
