Afternoon Play: The House That Eileen Built

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A play about the house designed, built and furnished in the late 1920s by furniture designer Eileen Gray for her much younger (and only male) lover, Jean Badovici, for which he and Le Corbusier eventually managed to take the credit. The play's broadcast coincides with the start of restoration work on this crumbling masterpiece. By Alexandra Parsons.
