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".  

665. 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!
