Dewey Eyed
Radio 4, 2.15pm
Vera (Sheila Reid) wakes up her daughter Philippa (Olivia Colman). Vera wants to watch Fifteen to One. But it's 5.00am. Sarah Naomi Lee's play is about living with someone who's losing her wits, leaving toilet rolls in the freezer, forgetting things. Philippa is a librarian. Vera used to be. Is Vera just confused after her husband's death, years of continuous care for him? Ordinary words don't seem to make sense to her any more. Then Philippa remembers another language her mother knows, that of Dewey cataloguing. And it still speaks to her.
