Summary

A comic monologue by Christopher Green, starring Caroline Quentin.

A feisty woman has taken to her bed in the spare room and she is not getting up - ever. She's 39 and has decided that she is not having children. She claims her boyfriend is in denial, though in reality he is in Zurich.

Directed by Claire Grove.

About the author

Christopher Green

Christopher Green is an actor, comedian, writer and cabaret performer whose work is shamelessly entertaining: from the political bite of country music icon Tina C (star of four Radio 4 comedy series), and Ida Barr (star of Radio 4's Artificial Hip Hop) to commissions from the RSC, the British Library, the Tate gallery, the V&A, the Science Museum and the Barbican. Among his radio dramas are Like An Angel Passing Through My Room and The Second Best Bed.
