'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.

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.
