World Cup winner and nominee for World Rugby Player of the Year, Meg Jones, joins Nuala McGovern. Following the Red Roses' win at the weekend, many have named Meg their player of the tournament. Meg reflects on the big win and how the death of both of her parents last year powered her on. A ‘carent 'is an adult child who is caring for one or both of their ageing parents, in-laws or elderly relatives. Many ‘carents' will be balancing work and family alongside. Dr Jackie Gray, a retired GP and founder of The Carents Room, joins Nuala to discuss, along with Kendra and Rachel who provide care for their parents. Award-winning actor Andrea Riseborough is one of five women portraying Mary Page Marlowe on stage at the Old Vic in London. The play is described as a “time-jumping mosaic” that spans 70 years in the life of an accountant and mother of two from Ohio. Andrea joins Nuala to discuss sharing the role with Susan Sarandon, and how this seemingly simple story of an ordinary woman invites audiences to reflect on our own lives. Author Bridget Collins discusses her latest novel, The Naked Light, a haunting gothic tale of ancient darkness, and a love that defies convention. It's set in England and focuses on three “surplus women” after the first world war.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Dianne McGregor

Tracy Letts, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright (August: Osage County) and Tony Award-winning actor (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf), has a new play running at his home company, Chicago-based Steppenwolf Theatre. The play, Mary Page Marlowe, tells the story of one woman at various points throughout her life. And to accomplish this, she is played by six talented actresses with a supporting cast of equal caliber. New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood visited the Windy City to see the production and offers his impressions of the play, Anna D. Shapiro’s direction, reasons behind dividing the title role into a half dozen parts and whether it may land in New York in the near future.
