A complete anthology of the BBC Radio recordings of the Diary of Edward the Hamster, starring Dan Tetsell, and written by Ezra Elia and Miriam Elia.

Body(s) is a viscerally lyrical trilogy of satirical duologues, each a skit on a particular section of the human body.

Written by E Elia, and recorded from a live performance by Oliver Senton, Alex MacLaren, Zoe Aldrich and Lucy Trodd, directed by Jessica Hynes, at the Folkestone Quarterhouse on September 24th, 2021.

"Relentlessly abstract even as it describes in detail the loss and regeneration of missing body parts, Body(s) nonetheless aches with human longing. Its characters urge and support one another instead of conflicting, as they are parts of a whole piecing together a story they share. Their logic is irrefutable because its terms cannot be verified, but it cannot resolve; at the end of each of its three scenes we yearn—as do the characters—for something just outside our reach. ” - David Hodges, NPX
