Summary:
Henry Regular uses poetry, storytelling and comedy to deal with big subjects along with his trademark humour. This collection contains five of his funny and shifting BBC Radio 4 displays:
A Normal Family is centred around Henry’s son, Johnny, who was simply identified as having autism. Through stand-up and poetry, Henry explores what this signifies for Johnny, for himself, and for his wife, Angela.
A Normal Life is constantly on the draw on Henry’s encounters of bringing up a child with autism, and tackles the subjects of life, in regards to a Normal…Family, Life, Love, Imagination & Character: The BBC Radio 4 stand up shows death, loneliness, reduction, human frailty and other classic conversation stoppers.
A Normal Love sees Henry explore love, romance and various other unreasonable expectations.
A Normal Imagination looks at why humans create.
A Normal Nature can be an exploration of unsung character, from the idea of view of the busy urban human being.
These prolonged episodes include material never broadcast on the radio.
