    About this ebook

    ‘I remember thinking if life had been different,

    I might have liked to have ended up with that man.’

    Our Time of Day was inspired by Corin’s

    revelation that after suffering brain

    damage he could remember little of his

    marriage – despite the fact that for over

    thirty happy, passionate and turbulent

    years he and Kika had shared their love of

    acting, family and left-wing politics with

    ceaseless energy and commitment.

    With great empathy and wit, Kika

    records their lives on and off stage – two

    great actors from two theatrical families.

    She draws upon intimate records of the

    thoughts and feelings that they had both

    expressed in personal diaries, writing with

    often brutal honesty. Finally she charts

    the poignant trajectory of Corin’s illness,

    from the moment he suffered a near-fatal

    heart attack during a speech on behalf of

    the Dale Farm gypsies, to severe memory

    loss, cancer and his eventual death from

    an aneurysm in the brain.

    Throughout these troubled years both

    continued acting in plays and films, as

    well as strenuously pursuing the human

    rights causes they held so dear.

    Kika Markham

    Kika Markham’s life in the theatre began playing Viola in a young all-star cast in a modern-dress adaptation of Twelfth Night at the Royal Court. Two of her most treasured stage peformances are the West End production of Noël Coward’s Song at Twilight,/i>, not only because she co-starred with her real-life husband, Corin Redgrave, but she was also nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress; and Homebody/Kabul by Tony Kushner at The Young Vic for which she was Nominated for What’s On Stage Best Solo Performance. More recent theatre includes The Last Yankee at The Print Room, On The Record at the Arcola, Tribes at the Royal Court, and Women, Power and Politics at the Tricycle Theatre. Her television credits include Lois in Mr Selfridge, Secret State, New Tricks, Call the Midwife and Spooks, and playing Thatcher in The Line of Beauty. One of Kika’s more memorable television projects was Dennis Potter’s Double Dare. Few people know this was actually written around an evening spent with Kika after Potter had seen the iconic Cornetto ‘Gondola’ commercial. She also acted with Harold Pinter in his television play The Basement. In film, Kika has worked mostly in France, with directors Jacques Rivette, Arnaud Deplechin and François Truffaut.
