BBC FAILS TO RECOGNISE GENIUS

~ Sarada Gray

In a shock move today, which many are calling a “horrendous error of judgment” the BBC has rejected out of hand an important new play, The Flood, by Sarada Gray.  One source close to the author said “This is typical of the BBC’s current blinkered attitude”, whilst another deplored what they called “the relentless stream of dumbing-down and so-called reality shows which are today served up as entertainment, whilst true talent goes unrecognised”.  The BBC refused to comment on its judgment, saying they were unable to enter into discussion about individual works.

The author herself was today unavailable for comment, but is said to have been spending the weekend quietly in a small corner of her darkened room.

I started my first novel, aged 8, in a draughty vicarage, finishing it 14 years later. My first poem emerged on a Sussex beach in 1965, but I didn’t return to poetry until 2007: I’m still trying to find out why. I have published short stories, poems and reviews and am a recognised performance poet. I’ve been married 21 years and have two children, Holly, 20 and Daniel, 17; but my husband now wants to be known as female. My struggles with this and its effects on my writing, are the springboard for short stories and a radio play.
