A new BBC4 radio documentary follows Polly around as she's composing music for a theatre adaptation of All About Eve. Lovely to see her creative process so intimately and up close (including her recording demos at home on a Tascam 4-track). She doesn't seem to be interested in being a alt-rock star/performer anymore, too — it seems that the last tour was kind of goodbye to that part of her life.
Also, excerpts of gorgeous music throughout (and I don't only mean the two songs that are the main focus of the documentary, but also about the instrumental and ambient pieces from all the different plays she's contributed to); makes me wish they'd release an anthology of her theatre scores.
