BBC Radio Scotland - The Festival Cafe, 22/08/2011

Actress Diana Quick talks about her one woman Fringe show, Midnight Your Time.

Kicking off the second week of Festival Café programmes from our BBC@Potterrow venue:


Diana Quick, star of the landmark television adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, joins Clare English to talk about her one woman Fringe show, 'Midnight Your Time'.


We experience the famous rivalry between Joan Crawford and Bette Davis on the set of 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?' courtesy of the actors from 'Bette and Joan: The Final Curtain'.


World class mezzo soprano Andrea Baker talks about leaving behind the classical opera repertoire for an Edinburgh festival show that's close to her heart: 'Sing Sistah Sing', a celebration of the African American female voice.


And: the young view of love in all its complexity: we talk to the directors and cast of a production that's been wowing both critics and audiences this festival: I Hope My Heart Goes First.

Produced by Serena Field.
