Friday Play: Sunny Afternoon 29-05-2009

By Doug Lucie. The normality of a sunny London afternoon is brutally shattered when a man is killed in the street. Testimonies from passers-by and residents who witnessed the event reveal the personal, unforeseen and lasting repercussions of such an incident. Their lives will never be the same again.

From The Radio Times

The main complaint about radio drama logged with us by readers is that they find it difficult to distinguish one character from another. There is absolutely no chance of this gripe being levelled against tonight's drama. Each voice is recognisable both by sound and subtle name identification. Without this device the whole point of the play would be lost, for it is the shared experience of a disparate group of people who are all witness to a lethal stabbing. Each gives their own testimony of events, but we switch from one character to another. Alongside the gradual revelation of exactly who has been murdered and why, come glimpses of the witnesses' attitudes towards immigration, justice and their community. One of the characters, an unbearably snobbish investment banker, reminded me of Alan B'Stard and, despite the harrowing event that binds them, there is plenty of dark humour to lift this listen.

-- Jane Anderson

Don't be put off by the description of the brutal murder etc. This really is a funny, dark enjoyable play.
