International thriller about a British aid worker who goes missing, and her husband's attempts to track her down. His search reveals how little he really knew about her.

The first of three Afternoon Dramas, 'Here' is an international thriller about a British aid worker who goes missing and her husband's attempts to track her down. His search reveals how little he really knew about her as her disappearance starts to have repercussions far beyond their domestic life.

Here
Danny is woken in the middle of the night by Paul, a security official, who tells him that his wife, Ellie, an aid worker, has disappeared. Initially upset, he is disturbed by questions which suggest that his wife is not who he thought she was. She's not in the country she said she was in. In fact she is in Syria. She has been seen in the company of an ex lover, with murky business connections. Although angry, the evidence raises doubts in Danny's mind. What does he really know about the woman he loves? And are the competing mindsets of the first, second and third worlds irreconcilable?

Dan Rebellato is a playwright and academic whose stageplays include Chekhov in Hell, Static, Whistleblower, Mile End, and Here is What I Did With My Body One Day. Other radio work includes an adaptation of Dead Souls starring Michael Palin and Mark Heap.
