"The Widowed Writer" is a radio play that I wrote for my Final Major Project at the end of my second year at College.

Synopsis: 

It’s mid July 1948 and widowed 42-year-old Jennifer Davis is still grieving from the death of her beloved husband, Edward. Their 17-year-old daughter Patricia is juggling her job at the local green grocers, her new boyfriend (who is yet to meet her Mother) and life without her dear Father. Having to conform to the slowly changing society, working class Jennifer is struggling to get by on what remains of her husband’s war pension and a measly paid job at the local factory where she has mastered the art of using a needle and thread. 
However, she is hiding a secret. Her passion and talent for writing is something that she had been forced to long forget due to her supposed place in society, but the death of the love of her life triggered a reason to pick up a pencil. When Patricia finds out that her partner Thomas is due to leave to join the National Service, she fears the worst, but then discovers her Mothers secret and thinks that her writing might be what will see them through this tough time.
