NOTES ON PETER SOUTER'S RADIO PLAYS


GOLDFISH GIRL....2008
2 4 2008 By Peter Souter. Joe can remember everything about Ally; the love of his life for ten years. Ally; however; can remember nothing about Joe. Joe ...... Alex Jennings Ally ...... Juliet Stevenson . Producer Gordon House.

ND summary: Frightening evocation of what memory loss can do. Ally and Joe were married; she cannot remember him. She asks who her friends are, and why they never visit; he says 'they do'. Two-hander with Juliet Stevenson and Alex Jennings. There is an earlier play on the same topic: "Deficits", by Derek Lister, a Monday Play broadcast 2 May 94, R4. Note that Goldfish Girl recently won a Bronze Sony Award in the Radio Drama category. There is a little more information about the play on the Sony Award page, and the Tinniswood judges' comments on the 'Tinniswood 2009' page.
