Drama of the Week- The Voice in my Ear, airs on BBC Radio 4 March 28th at 2.15pm.

The Voice in My Ear is a sharply observed real-time comedy drama about low vision, mixed signals and trouble with significant others, written by Bruntwood Prize Longlisted writer Claudine Toutoungi.

Steph’s supposed to be having a romantic weekend away with her boyfriend Matt. But he’s stuck in traffic. When a power cut in the holiday cottage catches her while on the phone to Finn, the voice behind VISUAL-EYEZ (an app for low vision users), Steph finds herself in a crisis that forces her to re-evaluate how capable she really is.
