Flood

It is raining in Yorkshire and doesn't seem to be stopping. Zoe's daughter Alice is measuring rainfall in jars. What can a child do about climate change? 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.
Young Zoe and Alice: Sydney Wade; Young Shaun: Rhys Gannon; Older Zoe: Patsy Ferran; Older Shaun: David Reed; Juliet: Laura Elphinstone; Jim: Sam Troughton; Zoe's mum: Katy Carmichael; Zoe's dad: Tristan Sturrock. Music by Jon Nicholls. Producer: Tim Dee
