Say Yes
The easy relationship between Paul, Luke and Leigh is threatened when the young actress Nina enters their lives again.
Hayley Atwell reads Sadie Jones' acclaimed new novel set during the birth of radical theatre in 1970s London; a world in which the four central characters swirl, ambitious, eager yet all facing their own demons.
Luke aspires to be a playwright and, after meeting would-be producer Paul and the feisty Leigh, the three end up flatmates in London. There, they plan to revolutionise the face of theatre, but when they encounter Nina, a damaged young actress, emotions get in the way.
Today: the easy relationship between Paul, Luke and Leigh is threatened when the young actress Nina enters their lives again.
