FRI FRI 11:15 Peter Tinniswood b00v1r9k (Listen) FRI Visitors FRI Peter Tinniswoood's final play, written just before his FRI death in 2003, is an elegiac drama on the shortness of life FRI and the frailty of love. FRI Shacklock ..... Roy Hudd FRI Stella ..... Emma Fielding FRI Music ..... David Chilton FRI Abridger ..... Liz Goulding FRI Producer ..... Gordon House FRI Shortly before he died, Peter Tinniswood - one of Radio FRI Drama's iconic dramatists - wrote Visitors. Set on a misty FRI Thames embankment over the course of several evenings, the FRI play recounts the meetings of two hospital "visitors", FRI Shacklock and the much younger Stella, whose relationship - FRI strange, erotic and yet seemingly entirely innocent, is the FRI bedrock of this hauntingly sad and beautiful drama about the FRI shortness of life and the frailty of love. We are in FRI archetypal Tinniswood territory, where nothing is FRI straightforward, where words take on a surreal existence of FRI their own (the visitors' respective patients live in FRI "Indifferent Ward" and "Terrified Ward") and where the quiet FRI beauty of much of the descriptions is undercut by recurring FRI echoes of loss, transience and death. Our two characters' FRI lives, like Vladimir and Estragon, while providing much FRI humour and no little sexual frisson, are essentially brief FRI and unfulfilling.
