My new radio drama, For Ever England, will be broadcast as an Afternoon Play on BBC Radio 4 at 2.15pm on 22nd September 2010 (and will be on BBC iPlayer for a week after that).

The cast is Gerard Horan, Tracie Bennett, Claire Harry, Alison Pettitt and Carl Rice and it is directed by Toby Swift.

The summary from the BBC Programmes page is:
Now living abroad, Steve discovers his estranged son Matt has been killed serving in Afghanistan. He returns to England anxious to do the right thing. But how do you begin to grieve for a child you never really knew?

Update: 
The Daily Mail ★★★★ "A tough and moving drama"
The Independent "Pick of the day"

Here's the For Ever England script - not quite the final version, but close enough.
 
 
I've started hosting regular (roughly monthly) podcasts for the Writers' Guild of Great Britain.

The first includes an interview with writer Jack Thorne and a discussion about the impact on writers of public spending cuts.

The podcasts can be played online, or downloaded from iTunes.
