Bunk Bed

Available for over a year

Everyone craves a place where their mind and body are not applied to a particular task. The nearest faraway place. Somewhere for drifting and lighting upon strange thoughts which don't have to be shooed into context, but which can be followed like balloons escaping onto the air. Late at night, in the dark and in a bunk bed your tired mind can wander. Patrick Marber and Peter Curran welcome BAFTA-winning actor Jane Horrocks who is sleeping over on the pull out bed. Jane discusses the curse of a happy childhood and David Bowie - and also does her impression of a neighing horse that once brought unwanted attention from a stallion. "A welcome comfort against the gathering storm clouds" - The Spectator Producer: Peter Curran A Foghorn production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in July 2018.
