Drama: Shoe Lady
Radio 4, 3pm
Doctor Foster's Bertie Carvel is behind the Lockdown Theatre Festival, which brings listeners audio versions of plays whose runs were cut short by coronavirus. Katherine Parkinson (above) stars in this Royal Court production as Viv, who knows all will be well with the world – if only she can find her missing shoe.
The Lockdown Theatre Festival continues with Rockets And Blue Lights (Radio 3, 8pm), which links a Victorian tale about a black sailor and ageing artist J.M.W. Turner with that of a 21st Century London-based actress.
In Down By The River (Radio 4 Extra, 9am & 7pm), Laura Barton listens to archive clips about Britain's waterways.
