The Twilight Zone

BBC Radio 4 - Something Understood, The Twilight Zone

Journalist Malcolm Doney explores how humans respond to the mystical world of twilight.

Journalist Malcolm Doney explores, with poetry and prose, how humans respond to the twilight zone - that shift from daytime to night, both in our surroundings and within ourselves.

The film The Revenant was filmed only at twilight, to capture the natural light ‘when God speaks’, in the words of its star Leonardo DiCaprio. This is just the latest example of a fascination with that shift from daytime to night that has absorbed poets, writers, artists and those with faith and of none. 

Journalist Malcolm Doney explores - with poetry, prose and music - how we respond to this twilight zone, both in our surroundings and within ourselves.
