Monday Matinee

We’re back with Season 17! Jack and David welcome one and all to the world’s largest and longest-running showcase of modern audio drama!

For our premiere, we have a dynamite double-feature beginning with James O’Neill’s “The Scarlet Cross“.

The Great Plague has reached Cambridge.

Man of learning Francis Mortymer describes the blight and it’s tightening grip.

Sitting alone, in a stifling chamber with the plague closing around him, his thoughts circling smaller and smaller and darker and darker.

And the regular visits of his haunting, spectral doctor.

An atmospheric account of dread and fear.

And death.

Performed by Anton Lesser (Wolf Hall, The Crown, Game of Thrones)

Sound Design by Paul Freeman

Written by James O’Neill

And Residents of Proserpina Park from Angela Yih! The park is a beautiful and wonderful place with no screaming children, crowded spaces, or trash littered everywhere. The catch? The park residents might not be so welcoming. Welcome back, it’s Audio Drama time!

Like all relationships, it was based on a commonality; a relational glue that binds two people together. For Beth and Stew, it was their daughter ‘Holly’ that was the glue that held the relationship together. But what happens to the relationship when that glue goes away? Did they ever really know each other?

Can they survive a personal tragedy such as this?

‘Unglued’ is a brand new audio drama from award winning playwright ‘Paul Kenny’, about the death of a couple’s daughter and how they try to cope with the loss.

During World War Two, Portugal remained neutral. Many of the people who found themselves there had little choice as to where they might live, work or even survive. Among those who had had little choice, was Alexander Alekhine, the World Chess Champion.

Alexander is a man looking for a life away from sitting alone in his hotel room, with nothing but a chess board on a table and dinner in his lap. He is looking for inspiration, looking for his muse and ultimately; a way to return to his previous glory. Perhaps he has found it…?

PLEASE NOTE: Although this story is based on real life people and situations, it has been heavily fictionalized and should not be seen as historically accurate.
