Chalk and Cheese

Ross Fitzgerald and Ian McFadyen’s powerful new fiction, Chalk andCheese, is a tale of two 80-year-old former radio stars, Bill and Ben,who hate each other, but who end up in the same nursing home. Eventhough Chalk & Cheese can be seen as a wry comedy using clear-eyedsatire, it is also a compelling story which challenges our views on lifein nursing homes and how the elderly are treated.
