Kath has taken a job as a volunteer at her local art gallery. She watches the comings and goings as she sits among the paintings - one of which seems to speak directly to her.

Entitled The Seven Ages of Woman, she becomes obsessed by the women depicted, with one in particular engaging her attention.

Has the painter captured her own fears and doubts? Can she share her thoughts with anyone but herself? Will it help her to deal with a new disappointment?

Siân Phillips reads this heartfelt story by Stephen Wyatt. The story also reunites Siân with director Martin Jenkins, who first worked together some 50 years ago.
