The last of the red wine

Produced and conceived by Sally O’Reilly and directed by Chris Head.

Last of the Red Wine – the first ever radio sitcom set in the art world was devised, written and performed by: Doug Fishbone, Cariad Lloyd, Hayley Newman, Kim Noble, Michelle Owoo, Caroline Smith, Phil Whelans and Bedwyr Williams.

For Last of the Red Wine contributors worked together to develop both group and individual scripts for The Last of the Red Wine. I devised the character ‘Whisper’, a performance artist with a penchant for durational work. For her first radio outing she appears in the middle of a 24 hour durational work in which she has to touch everything she sees. To help herself out she takes to wearing toilet rolls (like glasses) to restrict her vision… strangely, things don’t go to plan.

The Last of the Red Wine was recorded in a live performance at the ICA in February 2011. The recording of the radio play will be aired on Resonance FM in the future.
