Talking It Over
Julia Stoneham's dramatisation of Julian Barnes's love triangle tale, which slowly darkens and deepens, drawing the listener compellingly into the quagmires of the heart.
By Julian Barnes
Dramatised by Julia Stoneham
Stuart and Oliver have been friends since school but are rather different.
Oliver is charismatic and has this way of talking. Stuart is shy and
no good at saying what he means. But then Stuart meets Gillian and things
begin to change ...
Directed by Tracey Neale
