0120180416Autumn term at Addison University. Two months after a freshers' week party, Stephanie makes her way to the police station and a young man is stunned to be accused of rape.

This is a fiction inspired by far too many real events. Many students in the UK today will be impacted during their time at university by a sexual assault case, as complainant, witness, supporter - or the accused.

Stephanie is a fresher at a party when she encounters Charlie and, in a few short minutes, their lives are changed forever. The subjectivity and so-called 'grey areas' in the ensuing legal case are explored through the use of rolling monologues, as the narrative passes between the two young people at the centre of the accusation and on to those who surround and support them.

The author Eileen Horne has written numerous adaptations and original dramas for Radio 4, including her detective memoir The Lost Sister and, with Andrew Davies, The Mysterious Death of Jane Austen. She Said/He Said follows months of interviews with people on all sides of this painful subject.
