Last year, I rather hurriedly adapted a short story into a radio play for Xpress Radio in time for their two weeks on FM radio. It was a bit hurried in both script and production, and there are some rough edges that could have done with improving, but I’m fairly pleased with it under the circumstances. I also played the role of Mr Crickfarthing, which was fun!
