BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, The Other Simenon: Striptease

A dramatisation of Georges Simenon's novel "Striptease", set in a night club in Cannes.

The Other Simenon: Striptease. A dramatisation by Ronald Frame of Georges Simenon's novel "Striptease", set in a night club in Cannes in 1958.

Georges Simenon is best known for Maigret but he published scores of other novels - many of them tough, gripping and psychologically-penetrating dissections of small lives confounded by fate and circumstance. Ronald Frame dramatises a Simenon story set in a night club in Cannes in 1958. Celita is the mistress of the club owner - but she faces a younger rival for her lover's affections when he hires a sensational new dancer.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
