Episode 2: Tracey Emin and How She Done the Bed

BBC Radio 4 Extra - The National Theatre of Brent's Iconic Icons, Tracey Emin and How She Done the Bed

The National Theatre of Brent celebrate Tracey Emin and her unmade bed.

Director Desmond Olivier Dingle leads a celebration of Tracey Emin and her unmade bed. Stars Patrick Barlow. From July 2009.

The multi award winning National Theatre of Brent's Artistic Director; Desmond Olivier Dingle and the entire acting company (Raymond Box) returns triumphantly to Radio 4 in the second of an occasional series celebrating the rare but rarefied beings deemed in Desmond's expert view to be Iconic Icons.

The second Iconic Icon is Tracey Emin. 

Desmond and Raymond enact the controversial story of Tracey Emin and her ground breaking, but unmade, Bed. They also chuck in the entire history of modern art, popular culture in the 1990's and the first ever recreation of the female soul on radio.

Written by Patrick Barlow, with additional material by John Ramm, and performed by Patrick and John in front of an audience at the Bush Hall in London, this latest addition to the Brent canon will be as essential and massive a contribution to the current artistic life of this country as the rest of their work. 

And, of course it will be very funny.
