on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Ashok Patel. The second of three plays developed through BBC Radio Drama's Chasing The Rainbow initiative, which sets out to find new black and Asian playwrights from the Midlands region. It is not long since Meena's mother died and her father, Vinod, is beginning to put their lives back together. But that is before Uncle Nathu finds out Meena's secret.
