Tune in to Radio 4 tonight for the Songbirds drama series Brother-Sister, Sister-Brother. It tells the story of a sister who dresses up as her brother to go out on a date with his girlfriend.
Chris has the flu and is too sick to go out on his first date with Michelle. Chris does not have Michelle's phone number, so his sister Christine offers to meet the girl and explain that her brother is ill. But Chris is worried that Michelle will think this is an excuse.
Christine jokingly offers to take her brother's place and, to her surprise, Chris agrees. So Christine dresses up as Chris - will Michelle notice the difference? To find out, tune in to Radio 4 (FM 97.6) tonight at 9.30.
Below is a part of tonight's Songbirds drama for you to read either before or while listening to
the radio.
Chris: Where is she? I've been waiting by this lift for almost an hour! I'm giving up. (Gasps) Hang on, here she comes ... (panic) I can't do it ... my hands have gone all clammy and my mouth has dried up ... too late, she's almost here. Concentrate, Chris, concentrate ... just remember your lines.
Michelle: 16th floor, isn't it?
