Studio Three: Bird

on BBC Radio 3

Opening a new season of innovative and experimental drama, Nigel Anthony and Cathy Tyson star in David Halliwell 's offbeat allegory, in which a run-of-the-mill jazz musician sudddenly finds inspiration.
His unlikely source is a bird that sings Charlie Parker improvisations outside his window. But what will happen if the bird stops or disappears?
Music by Graham Collier
