Divorce, Maeve Haran, Pinter's women
Calls to reform divorce law; Maeve Haran's new novel on DIY social care; how the bra industry works; Pinter's women; and hit dance show Hot Brown Honey.
The Supreme Court has ruled that an unhappy wife must remain married, we hear about calls to modernise divorce law in England and Wales. Harold Pinter had a defining impact on British theatre. Ten years after his death, his plays are regularly performed, but his women characters have long troubled some. We discuss whether the view that he was a misogynist is really a fair one with actor, director Lia Williams and Dr Catriona Fallow. Maeve Haran talks about her new novel 'In A Country Garden' a humorous tale of ageing and DIY social care. Smashing stereotypes and promoting social activism - Hot Brown Honey is a cabaret performance putting women of colour in the spotlight. Co-creators and performers, Busty Beatz and Lisa Fa'alafi join Jenni to discuss the show. And, with 80 potential bra sizes, what sells?
