Radio: Bill Nighy in Cigarettes And Chocolate

BBC Radio is going to pay tribute to Anthony Minghella, the extraordinary writer/director who unfortuntely passed away recently at a too young an age.

BBC will broadcast some of Anthony Minghella’s radioplays and there are a lot of goodies to be expected not only for Nighy fans.

Saturday 3 May at 2.30pm

Radio 4 broadcasts Anthony Minghella’s original play for radio: Cigarettes And Chocolate. The Giles Cooper Award-winning production stars Juliet Stevenson and Bill Nighy and was first broadcast nearly 20 years ago. It tells the story of Gemma, her unexplained silence and refusal to speak and how her circle of friends and lovers react.

Don’t miss it.
