This episode is a recording of an interview on BBC Radio Sheffield, on 30th January 2025, when the writer of the Sand House audio drama, Peter Spafford, spoke to presenter Paulette Edwards.

A creative partnership of writer Peter Spafford and director Olwen May brought a stage version of "Sand House" to Cast theatre, Doncaster, in 2018. They have collaborated once again and have been joined by sound designer and music composer Nicolas Lewis. With a small company of actors, most of whom also worked on the stage play, they have created a compelling dramatisation of the Sand House story, firmly rooted in its factual history.

Expect smiles and sadness.
