Now Nancy feat. Milly Evans (04/10/2025)
This week on Now Nancy, Nancy Dewe Mathews explores desire, decay and everything in between.
Nancy speaks to sex educator and writer Milly Evans about their work in breaking taboos around sex and relationships, and why it’s so important to expand sex education beyond science into intimacy and desire.
From there, the show heads to the Barbican for Dirty Looks: Desire and Decay in Fashion, an exhibition of sequins, stains, ruin and glamour with a bite, where beauty rubs up against danger and decay.
Finally, Nancy dives into Hot Milk, the new film adaptation of Deborah Levy’s novel directed by Rebecca Lenkiewicz and starring Emma Mackey and Fiona Shaw, a sun-soaked story of mothers, daughters, desire and stagnation.
