Tango Diaires [Drama]
Ron Hutchinson writes a series of compelling vignettes, exploring why Tango is such an obsession and a way of life for some people.

Ron Hutchinson has written extensively for the theatre (Rat in the Skull, Pygmies in the Ruins, Moonlight and Magnolias) and for TV and Film (Bird of Prey, The Ten Commandments). His last radio drama was Ship of Lies in 2019.
