Dodo by Greer Ellison. An elderly woman finds herself trapped in a small aircraft heading for disaster. First of five monologues by young writers responding to and incorporating a piece of music.

As part of Radio 3's Take Five week of young artists, this is the first of five dramatic monologues by young writers. Each writer was given a particular piece of music and asked to write a dramatic monologue in which the music becomes part of the soundtrack.
