Afternoon Play: The Singing Butler

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Jack Vettriano 's famous image of a man and a woman dancing on a windswept beach, while their butler and maid do their best to shield the pair from the elements, has captured the imagination of the British Public. This drama interweaves the responses of two joists to that painting: dramatist Alexis Zegerman , and Scottish poet Ron Butlin. The reader is Ewan Stewart.
Producer Lu Kemp
