An original short work for radio by the playwright and film-maker Matt Grinter.

An original short work for radio by the playwright and film-maker Matt Grinter about fatherhood, raising daughters and playing the drums.

"My eight year old daughter is cooler than me, FACT. Yes she has a rather questionable taste in music and she wears more neon than I'm comfortable with, but get her in a room and she owns it". 

Boys Grown Tall is an original short work for radio about fatherhood, raising daughters and playing the drums.
