Second Hand Rose - BBC Radio Drama - 25.2.24 (3/5)

Sweet BBC radio play about the relationship between an 80 year old (and still working) female impersonator, and his young nurse/carer. The different perspectives of the generations regarding gay liberation and the the pain suffered by both growing up were well developed. One lived his formative years in a time where arrest and imprisonment was an ever present threat, the other is in the world where Ru Paul's Drag Race is on mainstream TV (and plays like this are on BBC Radio 4!). Written by Philip Meeks. Cast included Donald McBride, Felix Mufti-Wright, Rajat M Bose, Susan Twist, and Hamilton Berstock. Directed and produced by Gary Brown. First broadcast 22nd February 2024.
