The Magnificent Andrea
Roger Allam and Nigel Planer appear in the latter's comedy-drama about two very different men who meet at the funeral of the inspirational woman they both desperately loved.
Andrea has quietly passed away. But there's going to be hell to pay at her funeral. Nigel Planer writes and also co-stars with Roger Allam in this comedy-drama about the personality clash between two former lovers of an inspirational woman both utterly worshipped.
The Magnificent Andrea is the first original radio play by Nigel Planer, famous for appearances in drama and comedy on television and the West End. He has created two wonderful characters, both in love with the same woman - Andrea, who has just - tragically - died. Her former husband, boozy columnist Barry is at the tail end of a career marked by low achievement in pugnacious, snide journalism. Nigel was Andrea's recent partner until her sudden death: an alternative but ultra-orthodox, politically-correct naturopath.
Directed by Peter Kavanagh.
