Anna Furse: MY GLASS BODY, 2006

A drama commission from BBC Radio for THE WIRE SERIES, BBC Radio 3, 90 – 93 FM. Broadcast Saturday May 5th at 21:15pm.
An independent production produced by Karen Rose, Sweet Talk productions.

A 45 minute drama, written and directed by Anna Furse, starring Barbara Flynn and Jack Klaff. This was the culmination of an arc of research into subfertility (The Art of  A.R.T.) that has over six years encompassed professional theatre production (childrens and adult), performance installation with the Arts in Health sector, and publication of articles and a chapter in a book.  This radio debut is a one of many collaborations with composer Graeme Miller who also composed the sound for GLASS BODY. Miller is a regular Visiting Tutor on the MA in Performance Making.

“ honest, searching writing and inventive, insistent sound.” THE GUARDIAN

“Anna Furse’s evocation of the wide-ranging emotional ride embarked upon by a woman seeking fertility treatment really is a haunting miix of modern medical sounds with poignant, poetical and deeply personal language”  THE RADIO TIMES
