Writer Sabrina Mahfouz joins Mary Anne for this month's Slow Readers Book Club. She'll be discussing her latest play at the Royal Court - A History of Water in the Middle East.

Sabrina, who is British Egyptian, grew up with ambitions of being a spy but was turned down by MI6. After turning her attention to writing she has won numerous awards and has recently been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

Sabrina is the editor of 'The Things I Would Tell You: British Muslim Women Write' and is currently editing a new creative anthology Smashing It: Working Class Artists on Life, Art and Making It Happen which includes contributions from the likes of Riz Ahmed and Maxine Peak and a children's poetry anthology Poems From a Green and Blue Planet both of which will be out in early October. She is also currently writing a biopic of the legendary 'Godfather of Grime', Wiley.

Plus we invite you to take 20 minutes to de-stress with the Hit Reset Mix. Let the soothing sounds of Thursday wash over you and provide you with a much needed break from the pressure of everyday life.

Expect everything from neo classical to ambient Aphex Twin, to drum and bass (yes it can be relaxing)

2 hours, 28 minutes
