Sarah Kosar

Episode 4 of 5

Playwright Sarah Kosar flies with the soprano pipistrelle bat, in a series where writers imagine life as an animal of their choice.

In our world of dissolving distinctions, five contemporary writers imagine life as an animal of their choice and investigate the boundaries between animal and human - each with the help from different animal experts. In this edition, playwright Sarah Kosar flies in the night sky with the soprano pipistrelle bat.

In other editions in the series, Isabel Galleymore clings to the side of a rock pool as a limpet, Toby Litt is the brown hare at the outskirts of a wood, Belinda Zhawi imagines herself into the world of the southern African plains zebra and Ned Beauman builds dams with the Devon beaver.

Producers Kate Bland and Toby Withers.
Becoming Animal is a Cast Iron Radio production for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3.
