THE VOICE IN MY EAR

2.15PM, RADIO 4 ★★★★★

The rain comes down, the waters rise, and Steph, a young woman who can hardly see, is alone in a strange house. This sounds like the perfect setting for a horror story but this radio drama, starring Charlotte Riley (right), is a comedy about relationships, phobias and determination. Steph feels her way round the house guided, through one emergency after another, by a volunteer on the other end of her mobile phone in this inventive, entertaining play.
