Drama on 4 - For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy on My Little Pain.

[BoreOfWhabylon]

Imagined dialogues of Margery Kemp and Julian of Norwich.
One of those rare Radio 4 jewels that makes the licence fee worth while.
Fascinating insights into the lives and work of the two women and of the lives of women in medieval England.
Absolutely superb.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g I think you might enjoy this.

Thank you, I shall line this up for later this week!

It's adapted from the award-winning novel of the same name by Victoria MacKenzie. I'd never heard of it but have just ordered it!

Oh I'm listening to this on audible

Hope you're enjoying it @Wheresthescissors !
The two actresses are just superb.
I've long admired Julian of Norwich and her "All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well" has become my mantra.

Thanks Bore - off to have a listen.

This drama was possibly the Radio 4 highlight of the year so far.

It was indeed @nauticant. I'm going to listen again today.

@BoreOfWhabylon thank you for recommending this, I listened to it today while painting the kitchen and it was superb.

So pleased you enjoyed it, @HarpQuartet

Wow thanks this is right up my street!
