About a Dog
Danny looks out for his cousin Lee, but Lee doesn鈥檛 make it easy, and when Danny finally has to go to the police, they don鈥檛 seem very keen to help either. Set in rural Suffolk.
Huw Brentnall鈥檚 first radio drama is a black comedy set in rural Suffolk in the early noughties. Danny Mouser is always looking out for his wayward cousin, Lee. But one day when he hits a pheasant with his van he sets off a chain of unfortunate events which include a crate of deadly home brew, an assault on a police-officer and, worst of all, a small dog. Danny may have to choose between being wingman to a free spirit, and being a good husband and father to Karen and little Jade.
The first of two dramas featuring new voices from East Anglia. It was recorded on location in Suffolk.
The second drama, Heartstrings, is broadcast on Radio 4 on Wednesday 5th October 2022 and available on 成人论坛 Sounds.
