Cuban Cigars and the Missile Crisis

Synopsis
Radio series in which contemporary writers reflect on the theme of Jaques’s ‘Seven Ages of Man’ speech in the form of dramatic monologues. In the second episode, Aidan Matthews’s take on ‘A Whining Schoolboy’ little Timmy’s experience of his parents twenty-fifth wedding anniversary is overshadowed by the Kennedy-Krushev superpower stand-off which spoils a celebratory Cuban cigar. The programme is introduced by the author.
