Written by Peter Tinniswood for Paul Scofield, this was his last completed radio play before his death last year. Mr Anton arrives for a sojourn. He expects to meet a young lady with a little dog. He knows her stories well but doesn't seem to know his own - yet.

Anton in Eastbourne
2.15pm R4 FM This was the last play Peter Tinniswood ever wrote. When it went out last year, a critic on Front Row saw it as a sort of heavenly literary conference, based in Eastbourne, where great writers get to meet and swap ideas. I am with novelist AN Wilson, however, who saw it as a fantasy about art, imagination and death, and, key for Tinniswood at the time of writing, what survives of us. What survives of Tinniswood is a legacy of exquisite drama. (Jane Anderson)
