The T-Shirt

The T-shirt has been kept at the bottom of a drawer for 15 years. Jenny's bedroom is a mess. To make space for her partner, a clear out is definitely needed. The history and dark significance of the T-shirt is shared... and this time, the feelings it holds are handled with care.

New Storytellers presents the work of new radio and audio producers, and this series features the winners of the Charles Parker Prize 2025 for the Best Student Radio Feature. Jenny Davies made her prize-winning feature ‘The T-Shirt’ as part of an ‘In the Dark’ summer course and the judges called it “an incredibly powerful, poignant listen…a small masterpiece…beautifully written, delivered and constructed with an inevitable climax that’s a remarkable section of scripted audio.”
