On 'All Things Considered' this week (Sunday 10 May at 8.30am and repeated Wednesday 13 May at 6.30pm), Peter Baker's guest is Sheila Cassidy who became headline news in 1975 when as a young doctor working in Chile she was imprisoned and tortured for treating a wounded enemy of General Pinochet.

Her subsequent experience in a convent was followed by a return to medicine specialising in the care of the dying. Alongside that Sheila Cassidy has developed productive writing and speaking roles which will bring her to Cardiff this week to lecture on the intriguing subject of "Faith, hope and shopping " .

Also in the programme, Easter may feel a long way off, but it's uppermost in the minds of two people who have just made it known that on Good Friday next year they are planning a dramatisation of the life of Christ, called the Cardiff Passion. The people behind the project are the chaplain to the Cardiff Bay Lightship and the Wales Millennium Centre, Monica Mills , and the Reverend Darren Middleton ,whose move from the West End stage to Methodist ministry perhaps uniquely qualifies him to be the artistic director for this ambitious re telling of the gospel story.
