Champagne, Collecting and Collaboration is an audio drama inspired by real people and real events. Several decades ago the name of Florence Gould was very well known all over the world. Why? Because she was a millionaire American beauty living on the French Riviera who was a noted art collector and philanthropist. Even today, her good works live on through her Foundation. Despite them, however, her murky past during WWII casts doubt on her reputation and makes her very much of an enigma.
We welcome Hilary Kaiser to FastFiction with this intriguing play – and at the end – see if you can decide if Florence Gould was indeed “A Dangerous Woman”, as some have described her.

In 1939 Miss Joyce Grenfell created a delightful parody of children at play. She took the part of a kindly but harrassed Kindergarten Teacher, who talked to her imaginary class of tiny tots. “George, Don’t do that” became a series, a book, and eventually a solid part of her television career. This original piece was inspired by Miss Grenfell.

Mortality and the Detention Class is a personal Reflection from way back to the 1950s in the U.K. The post-traumatic years after World War 2. Although 70 years ago, there were some similarities to our world of After Covid. Like today we were looking for ‘a new normal,’
While kids back then could be considered immature compared to kids of the 2020s, they were not protected against the realities of life, so in some ways were far more mature.
1942 – Happy Birth-Day is in recognition of the 75th anniversary of World War 2. It is also a tribute to my mother, who gave birth deep down in Paddington Tube Station, during a bomb attack. Thanks Mum, it was worth it.
During the next few months, there will be a progression of stories from My Life and Death Diary, beginning of course with 1942. So, if you are interested in a little bit of personal history, not taken too seriously, look out for the cover. And you can always come to this website for a few graphics, to help you understand those days of long ago.
Grandma’s Petticoat is a story that began eighty years ago, and yet it may well be a story of tomorrow. It is about change, and yet we see that sadly many things stay the same.
