Well done Kath - I'm really glad we've got such an ardent JRT searcher amongst us!
The play sounds great- can't wait!

The write-up in next Radio Times says:
Is there a word for people who enjoy intercourse through holes, or for those who prefer living in dark confined spaces? Playwright Sean Grundy's macabre comedy is about a woman who discovers a taste for both. Kirsty our ill-fated heroine, recounts in solemn tones how a lunch-hour fling with work colleague Adrian goes disastrously wrong when his wife returns home unexpectedly. Kirsty hides in the attic, but rather than escaping later, she and Adrian realise there are bizarre, sensual pleasures to be had from romancing through cavity walling. Adrian drills holes around the house through which to communicate with Kirsty and she recommissions a chemical loo she finds in the loft. Then he gets his wife to buy long, thin food. It begins as a farce and merrily climbs the heights of absurdity but it's very amusing along the way.
I'm looking forward to the bit about long thin food

Well, no mention of bananas, but how sexy was Julian in this very amusing play?! 
He does 'love scenes' so well doesn't he.......oh to be the lucky lady on the receiving end!
(Hope he didn't get any splinters?!

Review from the Telegraph.... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/4447374/Radio-review-Mark-Lawson---Radio-4s-jack-of-all-trades-is-a-master-of-plays-too.html
Cavity (Radio 4, Thursday) was glitteringly original. Sean Grundy’s play was a comedy about adultery, fast, sexy and I’d have said “edgy” too, if that word hadn’t recently been bled of meaning. Here, I intend it to convey going as close as possible to the borders of descriptive propriety while employing sharp wit to induce a slightly shocked delight. Alison Crawford directed a marvellous cast – Julian Rhind-Tutt, Ingrid Oliver and Kerry Godliman – with glorious assurance. Afternoon Play is not often as utterly entertaining as this. Everyone, me included, usually moans about it. Frequently, these days, we must admit we can be wrong. If you missed Cavity, you missed a treat.

If the wonderful & sagacious Gillian Reynolds says something is 'a treat' you can be sure it will be something of inestimable quality....& "Cavity" certainly was!
Julian just gets better & better doesn't he? [if you can improve on perfection that is?! ]
