The Saturday Play: Challenged

on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Don Howarth.
Set in a remote part of the Pennines, this atmospheric play charts the developing relationship between a widow, her son and a recently hired worker, Tom. The son, who has learning difficulties, is described by his school as challenged. With Tom's encouragement, the son learns more than he ever did at school. However, this new-found confidence brings its own conflict to the trio.
