Celebrated actress Prunella Scales joins poet Leo Aylen in a performance that examines the politics of the relationships between men and women. Like miniature plays Leo Aylen’s poetry draws on the past to examine the politics of the present as the inimitable Prunella Scales takes on a range of roles from the murderous Medea, to a nameless hiker lying face down on a granite outcrop.
