The Mollusc and the Peacock


First broadcast 22 April 2014 on Short Cuts, BBC Radio 4



This is the story of a Facebook lurker — someone who sees herself as curious but benign.

Like her grandmother, who was a fan of American soap operas, she has a taste for stories about the lives of others just as long as they’re glamorous and extravagant and don’t bear too much resemblance to reality.

With Pamela Woods and performances by Jon Steiner, Peter Halm, Rochelle Hersch and Natalie Kestecher.
