An original short story for radio, written and read by Thomas Morris, a Granta Best Young Novelist 2023 and author of the collections We Don't Know What We're Doing and Open Up. Soaring high above the roaring waves and the screams of Barry Island's pleasure park, an old seagull confronts a cold truth: this will be her final summer.

From Pembrokeshire to Penwith, Coastlines is a series of five original short stories for radio, each anchored at a different point along the coast of Wales and South West England. Produced and directed in Bristol by Becky Ripley.
