The Thickness
Writer and star of the Bafta-nominated comedy series Timewasters, Daniel Lawrence Taylor writes two original dramas for Radio 4.
Writer and star of the BAFTA-nominated comedy series Timewasters, Breakthrough Brit winner Daniel Lawrence Taylor writes two original plays for Radio 4.
The Thickness is his razor-sharp satire about gender and power.
Marcus is a great Dad - intelligent, involved, cool, creative, spontaneous. So why is his 14 year-old daughter pregnant 'by boredom'? Why is his 17 year-old son trying to get off with Marcus' (latest) 21 year-old girlfriend? Why doesn't his ex-partner talk to him any more?
What's happened to his family - since he's been away?
Produced and directed by Jonquil Panting.
Daniel's second play Black Boy Fly will be broadcast on 7th February.
