Comic monologues in which a range of characters find themselves engaging in the most un-British of activities: talking to a stranger. Written and performed by Sally Phillips (BBC's Miranda, Channel 4's Smack the Pony) and Lily Bevan (BBC's Dr Who, BBC Radio 4's Rumpole of the Bailey). Praise for BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 'Surreal, funny, even moving... Prizes will surely follow.' (Times). 'I doubt there will be anything as seriously funny for years' (Gillian Reynolds, Telegraph).
