Watching the Plays Together

on BBC Radio 3

A new play by RHYS ADRIAN to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the BBC with Rosemary Leach as Rosemary and James Grout as Gerald
Every evening Rosemary and Gerald sit down In front of their television set and watch the plays together. Sometimes she leaves the room to make tea or phone her mother, sometimes he reads the paper. Every evening they talk to each other as successive teleplays unfold upon the screen. Occasionally they recognise similarities between the screen fiction and people they know.
There comes a point when fact and fiction become confused.
The actors in the plays within the play are played by FRANCES JEATER and RONALD HERDMAN
Directed by JOHN TYDEMAN
