Jan Ravens talks to Germaine Greer

BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Jan Ravens talks to Germaine Greer

Actor and impressionist Jan Ravens talks to Germaine Greer, about her public image.

Actor and impressionist Jan Ravens talks to Germaine Greer, about her public image and how that differs from how she sees herself.

Jan Ravens has created impressions of some of our most iconic women but all she has to work with is the public persona, how someone in the public eye presents themselves for our view. In her series of One to One she talks to some of her subjects about their image as seen by others and how it differs from how they see themselves. Is image something they have consciously created or has it sprung naturally from their personality and from the way they look? Jan wants to know if their self perception is changed through their portrayal by impressionists and cartoonists.
Is image a useful tool, or does it become a millstone around your neck ?
Academic and author, Germaine Greer, has been in the public eye for over forty years, she talks to Jan about the way her image has changed over the decades.
Producer Lucy Lunt.

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