The True Voice of Rape

First on More4 April 2006. Rpt C4 Tues 27 Feb 11.40pm 2007.

The True Voice of Rape begins with Perfect Day. Emily Woof [pictured] plays Julia, a young woman who was raped by a guest at her best friend's wedding.

The second story is Binge Town, in which Matthew Dunster plays Terry, a rapist, who confesses his story from prison. Through Terry's story we gain an insight into the casual and detached approach he had to the rape of a 59 year-old woman who he met on the way home from a night out. He is behind bars and now recognises that the woman's life has been irrevocably damaged.

Sophie Okonedo is Jane in Bank Holiday, the final story in the trilogy of hard-hitting monologues. Having left her partner the day before their wedding, we hear the harrowing story of how she ends up in a hostel, where she meets a man who becomes obsessed with her, eventually stalking, entrapping and violently raping her, despite an injunction against him.
