BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

The arrival of young playwright David Greig as a new force in British theatre was confirmed by the success of his stage play The Architect at this year's Edinburgh Festival. This new play, his first for radio, is set in West Africa. A young man returns to the former colony of Bushiya to discover more about the death of Innocence Andeyaba, a prominent political activist and once his boyhood friend.
