Playing With Fire / Joanne Gutknecht / BBC Radio Drama

Judy and Arnold can’t stop fighting, even though it’s affecting their teenage son Daniel badly. Daniel has learning difficulties and the tensions between his parents are tearing him apart. Set in the 1990s in a rural community engulfed by a forest fire, the play explores a marriage in disintegration.
