Art The City Speaks: A Film for Radio, from an idea by Peter Ackroyd

  • City_speaks_01_large

The City Speaks is inspired by historian (and Londonphile) Peter Ackroyd's writings. This multimedia celebration of the capital takes the form of six short films/radio plays recorded across the metropolis, with the help of artists such as William Raban and Inge Blackman. These segments are united by the shared expectation of a vision from the Virgin Mary in a city church, but each film features an entirely different context and set of characters (among them, a lost Tube station, synchronised swimmers and voodoo goddesses).

– Lucy Davies

Note: The plays will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Wed 19 Mar & Thur 20 Mar (2:15pm).
