Radio 4 afternoon play Friday 13th April

[SimonBridges]

Anyone else listening?

It’s about people who are being removed from a wax work museum after it comes to light that they are abusers.
They’re is also a bit about a high profile feminist who believes that trans women are not women.

I will listen on catch up asap.

This should be a link.

was just about to post the same.... thought provoking stuff

Yes I heard snippets. Quite clear questions being posed about self id.

By Mark Lawson, who is also a guardian columnist. And did front row for years iirc.

The Deletion Committee
Drama

By Mark Lawson. The trustees of a famous wax works is facing a dilemma. Following pressure from social media activists and irate students, it is obliged to establish a deletion committee - charged with removing the effigies of waxed celebrities who have been named and shamed by the court of public opinion.

All the usual suspects are condemned to the flames but, when they start to include the likes of Germaine Greer because some commentators are offended by her views on the transgender community, the committee begins to question the efficacy of the selection process and whether it is carrying out a "guilty until proven more guilty" process, rather than a cool-headed reappraisal of the museum's best known exhibits.

A Big Fish production for BBC Radio 4.

I tried to listen to it but a was out of the car and then emptying the dishwasher while DH yakked and made a row as I was trying to listen.

(In his defence he was agreeing with me about it and was making me a cup of tea at the time)

waiting to be able to listen to the whole thing as I missed the beginning.

I had the same sort of problems simon . It's gone quiet now, so will see if it's on iplayer

Mark Lawson was himself accused of "horrendous" bullying while at the BBC, so I was a bit about him covering the subjects that he does in this play...having said that I only managed to catch the first 15 minutes so he may have had some good points to make.

That was my immediate thought too at seeing the name Mark Lawson @terryleather.

That's two Radio 4 programmes I need to catch up on. The other is Archive on 4 tomorrow night. It's a look back at Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech with expert commentary. The great and the good, including Andrew Adonis, are trying to get this programme banned.

I got confused listening as trying to pack at the same time. I'm not sure if there were 2 similar Scottish blokes I fused in to one character as it was great until the last 5 minutes when I lost it. I like my radio plays simple as usually doing other stuff at the same time

Listened to it again and have now worked out who the male characters are but confused by the ending.
