BBC Radio 4 - 15 Minute Drama, Clouds in Trousers, Rain

Zoe likes the rain but Jim doesn't: can they work it out.  A drama by Katie Hims.

Every stage of Zoe's life has been marked by the weather.  Will the rain ruin her love?  A drama by Katie Hims.

Katie Hims' drama, inspired by Alexandra Harris' book 'Weatherland', imagines Zoe as a woman growing up weathered - for whom every turn of her life is marked by the weather: rain, snow, a summer heatwave, a thunderstorm, the threat of a flood. All our lives are weather-bound but for Zoe the weather is more than just what goes on behind the scenes.
