Cate Blanchett

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. Hollywood star Cate Blanchett joins Patrick Marber and Peter Curran on the spare mattress. So in relaxed mode, they muse on their experiences of gallstones, vomiting, night walks and severe haircuts. Producer: Peter Curran A Foghorn production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in April 2019.
