Afternoon Play: A Higher Education

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A comedy by Lloyd Peters set in a university drama department.
What happens when you combine a drama lecturer locked in a studio with a shy student, a real gun and a copy of Hamlet? Add Black Forest gateau, a scheming dean, a drunken parent and the police, sprinkle liberally with sharp one-liners, slapstick and comic tension, and you have a combination guaranteed to ruin any head of department's day.
