Radio 4 renews Jenny Eclair's Little Lifetimes
Radio 4 has commissioned a third series of Little Lifetimes monologues from Jenny Eclair.
Chortle, 20th January 2016Radio Times review
A middle-aged woman is flying to Venice with her husband when their plane hits terrible turbulence. While he clutches her hand in silence she uses these 13 minutes for an interior monologue on his years of adultery.
Written by Jenny Eclair, this is an exquisitely crafted piece of work, where every simile, every quip, every moment of self-analysis is an orgasmic explosion of language. Lesley Manville sounds like she has so much fun voicing this. I know I did listening to it.
