A Certain Age

Six more radio monologues written by Lynne Truss, author of the phenomenal bestsellers 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' and 'Talk to the Hand'. In the tradition of Alan Bennett’s 'Talking Heads' come Lynne Truss’s male monologues: six tales of fidelity, pride, friendship and family from the classic BBC Radio 4 series. Six men have reached a certain age, their forty-something years, and each has a very different - and sometimes surprising - story to tell: from the brother who receives an unexpected letter to a compulsive philanderer and a news photographer sent on an unusual assignment. All are funny, touching and as beautifully observed as would be expected from the author of the phenomenal bestsellers 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' and 'Talk to the Hand'. Starring Douglas Hodge, Robert Glenister, Peter Capaldi, Stephen Tompkinson, Simon Russell Beale and Stuart Milligan, Volume Two features the stories 'The Father', 'The Son', 'The Husband', 'The Pedant', 'The Brother' and 'The Married Man'. ‘Dazzling series... sad, funny and, of course, exquisitely written; superb, finely crafted’ - Daily Mail
