Whether or not you managed to see the 50th anniversary Hoffnung exhibition at the Summerfield Gallery during the 2009 HSBC Cheltenham Music Festival, you may be interested to know that Radio 4 broadcast a play on Hoffnung on Monday 28 September – and you can Listen Again here until Sunday 3 October.

One tubby British comic genius – Little Britain’s Matt Lucas – plays that other tubby British comic genius from another age, Gerard Hoffnung, in a play that also features Gina McKee (as Hoffnung’s wife Annetta), Hugh Bonneville and – playing herself in the present day – Annetta Hoffnung.
