Broadcast Fiction: Visit To The Underworld


Ancient World Bloggers

Thanks to David Gill for his post to the Ancient World Bloggers group re the broadcast of an ancient Egypt themed short story.

A short story, "Visit to the Underworld" by novelist Stevie Davies, was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 over the weekend. It revolves around the Tomb of Tutankhamun.
Fleeing her home and its reminders, Rhiannon has come to Egypt. Standing outside Tutankhamun's tomb, she hears a Welsh voice and thinks she sees her dead son in a backpacker's eyes.
The 15 minute broadcast can be heard with the listen-again facility.
