Mark Ravenhill's Autobiographical Radio Play

Explores the way culture, high and low, impacted both his mother's and his family's lives.

Starting an adult ballet class as the only male in the group sparks a memory of life through the eyes of Ravenhill, the playwright. As time intertwines through alternating perspectives, we see his family at different stages of their life. From childhood dreams of being a dancer and performer through to the creativity that brings his parents together for the first time and into their old age, this is a deeply personal and resonant drama about the intersections of life and culture.
