Ik beluisterde een BBC-versie van ‘Fighting over Beverley’, was aangenaam verrast door de zeldzame combinatie van enerzijds de pittige scenesituaties en anderzijds de emotionele raakpunten die je als toehoorder krijgt met de personages, die een eerlijke balans van hun leven maken.
Horovitz heeft oor voor entertainende dialogen, én verrast met een treffende, waardige slotscène.
