Watson Gould’s The Other Woman is unquestionably one of the most audacious plays broadcast during the twenty year run of The Wednesday Play/ Play for Today. Misleadingly promoted at the time as an “issues” play about lesbianism, the drama was actually a unique vehicle for Gould’s highly personal understanding of gender and sexuality, a world in which there are are three sexes, with the pinnacle of human insight awarded to the third sex of the male woman, embodied in the figure of Kim. In a terrific performance from Jane Lapotaire, Kim is a character whose every action in the play is in some way disruptive and transgressive. Kim is a nightmare to know, dirty, imposing herself on others but unwilling to empathise with their problems and yet not a bad person in herself (although that is dependent on how the viewer interprets her sexual conduct), charismatic and her own invention.
