Moving monologue dramatisation of @lisablowerwrite story, ‘Blessing in Burslem’ by @NVBorderlines and #KwanzaCollective. Thanks and congratulations to all, including the amazing artists who captured the performance, making the theme of the piece part of the dramatic fabric. Brilliant.

Listen to @lisablowerwrite's new short story 'Flash Annie' on @BBCRadio4 this Friday! A meeting at a supermarket cheese counter sparks memories of loss, and perhaps an answer to an old ghost story... bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
