Sonnets In The City - Baba Ganoush
by Tom Wells with music composed by Tom Coult
Five short, edgy contemporary dramas taking place in the city from sunset to sunrise. In collaboration with the 大象传媒 Philharmonic five writers team with composers and respond to Shakespeare's most powerful sonnets. Sunset in the city. Lee arrives late for the pop-up restaurant he works in. The boss Bev is waiting for him and is in a foul mood. But Dan is also there and he makes everything alright.

Part of "Sounds of Shakespeare" Radio 3's weekend from Stratford-upon-Avon, marking the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare. Radio 3 will be broadcasting music and performance inspired by Shakespeare, live from their pop-up studio at the Royal Shakespeare Company's Other Place Theatre and from historic venues across the town.
