BBC Radio 4 - Richard Marsh, Love and Sweets, Love From Afar

Award-winning Richard Marsh fuses poetry and prose to tell a story about falling in love.

Award-winning Richard Marsh fuses poetry and prose to tell a heart-warming story about falling in love with Siobhan. From April 2013.

Richard Marsh plays a character called Richard ("We're not exactly alike, although we do look similar") and fuses poetry and prose to tell witty and honest tales of his whirlwind romance with Siobhan. From the excitement and silliness of young love, to cars covered in sweets, broken dreams, trans-American road trips and a seductive-looking lady called Sorrow.


Richard is an award-winning poet and playwright, and a new voice for Radio 4. He's a magnetic personality whose beautifully crafted stories are hilarious one moment and heart-breaking the next.


Richard and Siobhan meet sharing sweets at their dead-end temp job. They quickly become friends, but Richard's nervous of taking the plunge and declaring that he has feelings for her. After he finally plucks up the courage to (drunkenly) woo her, they embark on an exhilarating new relationship. Richard begins to fall for Siobhan, but he's worried - she wants to keep their relationship a secret at work. Will a grand romantic gesture in the corner shop win her heart?
