For Ever England 09/16/2010
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.

Not usually something I'd typically listen to, but Gerard Horan's one of my favourite actors, and it's good to see him have a lead in something. I'll certainly be looking out for this on the 22nd.

Really enjoyed it. Was impressed with everyones performance; from Gerard Horan's father trying to connect with a son he barely knew, all the way to a soldier not liking having to remember watching another man die (that was my take on it anyway).
