Five Lessons by Marcy Kahan

Nigella Smith is no ordinary piano student. Can her piano tutor win her trust in just five lessons?
A comedy about retreating, advancing and the joys of humming.

Pianist Peter Ringrose

Produced and directed by Marion Nancarrow

Maureen Lipman's hugely successful career as actress, writer, artist and, most recently, director, has spanned 50 years and, in her honour, 4 new comedy dramas have been especially commissioned for Radio 4, with the writers creating roles specifically for her. The results are 4 very different plays. This is the second of the four. In it, she stars with Julian Rhind-Tutt (Green Wing, The Bastard Executioner).
Next week, she & George Layton play husband & wife Alan and Fay, on a trip to a Jewish cemetery to honour their dead. But the line between life and death seems to be more blurred than it used. The final play, "Theodora Potts: Victorian Psychic" has been co-written by Tracy-Ann Oberman, who also co-stars in it with her friend. Show less
