麻豆约拍

To complement Radio Four's News and Current Affairs output, our weekly series presents a dramatic response to a major story from the week's news. The form and content are entirely lead by the news topic - so drama can come in many guises, as well as poetry and prose.

Reflecting Budget Week, novelist Naomi Alderman takes us to an imagined land, full of pyramids, where The Ruler pays court to The Employer on the eve of the Citadel's new accounts. He's come to discuss 'The Minimum Grain'.
