LET THEM CALL IT JAZZ

First Broadcast 2007. Radio 4  Women's Hour
15 minute adaption of the Jean Rhys short story  

It tells the story of Selina, a black woman newly arrived in a slum in Notting Hill in the late 50’s, who finds herself caught up in a seedy world that she doesn't quite understand. 

It starred Adjoa Andoh and was part of a week of adaptations called 'Guiding Lights' on Radio Four where short stories by leading women writers are adapted into 15-minute plays by contemporary dramatists. 

Cast: Adjoa Andoh, James Bryce, Carol Ann Crawford, Mark McDonnell, Lucy Paterson, Nick Underwood.
