Song of Lunch, Christopher Reid

This first ever BBC dramatization of a poem will go out on in the UK on National Poetry Day, October 7th 2010.

Lunch in Soho with a former lover - but Zanzotti's is under new management, and as the wine takes effect fond memories give way to something closer to the bone. A mock-elegy for the heady joys of old-time Soho, The Song of Lunch displays the full range of Christopher Reid' s wit, craft and human sympathy.
