Monologue by Jean Cocteau.
First transmitted on 14th February 1998 (BBC Radio 3: Between the Ears)

A tour-de-force performance by Harriet Walter is the highlight of this production of Jean Cocteau's one-character play. Walter is a middle-aged woman who goes through a series of emotions while engaged in a phone conversation with her ex-lover, whom she suspects is talking to her from his new fiancee's house.
