Katherine was commissioned to adapt her third Chekhov for BBC Radio 3, again with John Chambers as composer.

Starring Rory Kinnear “in Chekhov's first major play...(his) self-loathing provides a disturbing psychological edge....this production is not designed for laughs. It is all the better for that, and Kinnear, as ever, is tremendous.”
RADIO TIMES.

Described by the BBC as Katherine and John's follow up to the “razor-sharp” Cherry Orchard and Seagull and given five stars by THE DAILY MAIL as “moving and hauntingly scored”.
