Sisters

Series 2

Blackout

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

Susan and Fiona are grown up sisters who live together. But that's all they have in common.

Written by Susan Calman.

Their flat is plunged into darkness from a power cut. Next door neighbour and token family member, Blake doesn't provide the necessary support as he’s preoccupied with selling something special online.

As the darkness continues, fear of intruders and speculation about paranormal activity take hold and all three descend into a world of paranoia and mutual suspicion. It's a situation exacerbated by the fact that Susan is harbouring a stray cat and is very keen that Fiona doesn't discover this - especially as Fiona is violently allergic to pets of any description
