Episode 1 of 4

Comic monologues of talking to a stranger by Sally Phillips and Lily Bevan. With Emma Thompson and Olivia Colman. From 2016.

Comic monologues in which a range of characters find themselves engaging in that most un-British of activities: talking to a stranger.

Each piece is a character study: funny, frank, absurd, moving...

Characters include a sex councillor who loves to draw, a spy who loves to share, a woman who likes to help too much ('I'm a serial helpist...'), a frustrated falconer, and a cheater who has to call her cheatee the morning after. And in this show, the listener 'plays' the silent stranger in the piece...

Written and performed by Sally Phillips and Lily Bevan.
