Written by Rupert Smith.

The latest season of The Time Being brings another showcase for new voices, none of whom have been previously broadcast. Previous series have brought new talent to a wider audience and provided a stepping stone for writers who have since gone on to enjoy further success both on radio and in print, such as Tania Hershman, Heidi Amsinck, Sally Hinchcliffe and Submarine author and National Short Story judge Joe Dunthorne.

He was a good chef with a Michelin-star restaurant, but when his narcolepsy got worse things began to go wrong. Recovering at home, he tries to teach his daughter his favourite family dish between sleeps.

Rupert Smith is an actor and award-winning poet, and most recently a mature graduate from the University of Kent with an MA in creative writing. He is currently undertaking a PGCE to teach secondary level English and lives with his family in Kent.
