Shoulda Put A Ring On It

Dominic Arkwright introduces more new writing and provocative debate.

Bidisha, Stella Duffy and Harry Benson have their 400 word essays at the ready - entitled "Shoulda Put A Ring On It." The title comes from a Beyonce single, and provokes each guest in a different way.

"Marriage? I am not tempted, writes novelist Bidisha, "it is like all other things I am not tempted by, such as golf, crochet and pole jumping."

Harry Benson runs marriage courses for the Bristol Community Family Trust, and is author of Let's Stick Together. Stella Duffy is a playwright and novelist.

Producer: Sarah Langan
