Shappi Khorsandi's Dream Dinner Party

Comic Shappi Korsandi鈥檚 dinner party with a twist with guests from beyond the grave, helped by the 成人快手 radio archive.

Comedian and author Shappi Khorsandi hosts a dinner party with a twist - all her guests are from beyond the grave!

But her heroes are brought back to life by the magic of the 成人快手 radio archive.

An all-star line-up is joining Jane for dinner:

* Poet and memoirist Maya Angelou
*, Broadcaster and comedian Kenny Everett
* Actor Richard Burton
* Post-war Labour politician and feminist campaigner Dr Edith Summerskill
* Singer songwriter Amy Winehouse.

While the saffron-inspired Persian feast simmers gently, the conversation around the dinner table heats up. But the early tensions soon dissolve as Shappi and her guests discuss the joy of music and the power of the human voice, home and exile, fighting prejudice, and Elizabeth Taylor.

Alongside frank confessions, there's laughter, singing and tales of love.

Producer: Sarah Peters & Peregrine Andrews

A Tuning Fork and Open Audio production for 成人快手 Radio 4, first broadcast in September 2019.
