Lee Miller: The Angel and the Fiend, 8pm

The life and work of Lee Miller, fashion model, Surrealist muse, photographer, and gourmet cook is brought to life in this dramatised reading for five voices.  The words of Lee Miller, Man Ray, Roland Penrose, David Scherman, and Antony Penrose are set to a stream of images drawn from Lee Miller’s career in photography.  The title comes from Lee’s own comment in one of her diaries . . . ‘I looked like an angel, but I was a fiend inside.’

Written and edited by her son and biographer Antony Penrose and starring Ami Bouhassane [Lee Miller’s granddaughter] as Lee, Antony Penrose as himself and directed by David Borroughs who also plays Roland Penrose. Man Ray is played by James Leyton and David E. Scherman is played by Jonathon Bailey.
