Set during the 2011 London riots, A Summer Night tells three personal stories from the night when the capital changed shape. A policeman on duty, a carer trying to get to her patient, a teenager on a night out - their paths cross and collide in ways you won't expect.
Performed live from the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead for the Radio 3 Free Thinking festival.
