Drama written by OU associate lecturer is broadcast on Radio 4

OU associate lecturer Jane Purcell has her drama The Righteous Sisters being broadcast by Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour this week.

Jane, who teaches on A215 and A363, will see her work hit the airwaves this week and while you may have missed the first two episodes, you can ‘listen again’ and still catch the remaining three.

The series tells the story of how a love of opera leads two remarkable sisters into a life of danger. It’s a true-life tale of the remarkable Cook sisters' wartime adventures, as they rescue Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany.
