BBC Radio 4 - 15 Minute Drama, How Does That Make You Feel?, Caroline

Caroline is more determined than ever to take over her therapist Martha's job.

Caroline has finally given up on her gifted daughter to concentrate instead on her hapless son Edmund who, to her horror, has decided to be a dress designer.

In 'How Does that Make You Feel?' we visit a group of people who all share one thing in common, a therapist called Martha and a growing set of neuroses which appear to be overtaking their wholly imperfect lives.

Caroline's husband has, not surprisingly, not returned home. Her son Edmund has decided he wants to be a dress designer. However this has been overshadowed by the fact that Derek Fisher, Head of Human Resources, whom Caroline encountered at the Finchley Satanist's Circle, has tracked her down.


Shelagh Stephenson is the author of 'A Short History of Longing' and 'Guests Are Like Fish', recently heard on Radio 4. She is an Olivier Award winner for her play 'The Memory of Water' and has won Sony and Writer's Guild awards for her plays 'Darling Peidi' and 'Five Kinds of Silence'.
