Joining Charles Adrian for the 85th Second Hand Book Factory is actor, performer, theatre-maker, writer, and space and science geek Griffyn Gilligan. They talk about why the measure of love is loss, how we deal with the passing of time and dreaming either of his long neck in our teeth or his long teeth in our necks.
At time of recording this episode, Griffyn had only recently finished playing Jaq in the 2015 production of Teddy Ferrara at the Donmar Warehouse in London, which you can read about here.
Another book by Jeanette Winterson, Sexing The Cherry, is discussed in Page One 45.
