A play for voices, taking its inspiration from Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood, and first broadcast on BBC radio in 1998: "This is my farewell embrace to the polymorphous people of Earlsfield, with whom I lived for ten years, [and] which was definitely the centre of the world when I was living in it." Subsequently performed at the Dylan Thomas Centre, Swansea, the playscript incorporates new material and is now a set text for A-level and GCSE courses in drama and the performing arts.
