Radio Theatre 81: Best Friends

on BBC Radio 3

by OLWEN WYMARK
Baba has a difficult teenage daughter, a quixotic husband, a dotty old father (or is he?) and a best friend in whom she confides her attempts to write. As Nelly reads her latest play, their lives are also conjured up by the fictional characters in Baba s play.
Directed by RICHARD WORTLEY
(Best Friends, directed by Sam Walters , was first performed with the same cast on 13 March at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond)
