BBC Radio 4 - Bunk Bed, Series 7, Cate Blanchett

Patrick Marber and Peter Curran are joined by Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett.

4 Extra Debut. From under the covers, Patrick Marber and Peter Curran discuss gallstones and severe haircuts with Cate Blanchett. From 2019.

Everyone craves a place where their mind and body are not applied to a particular task. The nearest faraway place. 

Somewhere for drifting and lighting upon strange thoughts which don't have to be shooed into context, but which can be followed like balloons escaping onto the air. 

Late at night, in the dark and in a bunk bed, your tired mind can wander.

Hollywood star Cate Blanchett joins Patrick Marber and Peter Curran on the spare mattress.

So in relaxed mode, they muse on their experiences of gallstones, vomiting, night walks and severe haircuts.

Producer:  Peter Curran

A Foghorn production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in April 2019.
