Woman's Hour Drama - Wide Open Spaces - Two Men in the Fog

Five writers explore our attitudes towards race, environment and identity. By Sonali Bhattacharyya, performed by Saikat Ahamed. Still feeling raw after the failure of his marriage, Ashish takes himself off to Shropshire for some space and some time away from the busy city. Aware that he is a novelty in the village, he tries to brush off his landlady's comments about 'stocking up on curry powder' and fantasises about starting a new life in the country. Confused and disorientated by rural sounds as he walks through the November fog, he gets lost and is put back on track by a suspicious farmer who confounds all his expectations.
