Ladies, Have we Progressed? 1920's-2020's
For BBC Radio Suffolk
2020
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08lc54g
A satirical sketch exploring the moral relativism of feminine
values in the 1920’s and 2020’s.
Parallels can be drawn between many of the ways women see and have seen the world proving that we truly have not progressed.
In the most humorous fashion,
Violet and Alice live in a parallel universe of both eras. Expressing their opinions that come from exactly the same place. A human place.
