Susan considers herself to be a Thoroughly Modern Woman; after all, she’s been on a Pride March - and she has a Tesla parked outside. So why does she sometimes feel that life would be easier if she just keep her mouth shut? And what does her husband have against peonies? A moving and funny portrayal of a woman getting to grips with change. Bita Taghavi is a Bristol-based writer and actor originally from Newcastle upon Tyne and this is her first work for R4. She’s always been slightly obsessed with the inner life of people, their secrets and truths. Written and read by Bita Taghavi Produced by Alison Crawford
