  • Signs

    Seventy-six-year-old Madeleine McGlyn is confined to a

    secure institution under the Mental Health Act. She’s been there for over 35 years, but listen carefully to her story. Why does Dr Bailey figure so strongly in her life? How does an innocent kiss from a Sleeping Beauty lead to such trauma? The Signs were already there in the beginning…

    This is an adaptation of Michael Mau’s original script from

    Season 2 of A Blind Play of Social Forces.

    “I love this version. I could feel the benign menace in

    her voice. The nostalgia for a life she never had. Bravo.” Michael Mau

  • The Menu New

    Scott and Val have come to a posh restaurant for a “special” occasion – but their anniversary dinner does NOT go to plan. While Scott’s attempt to pop the question is initially foiled by an old flame, Val’s man-y previous relationships provoke more questions than there are items on the menu!

About The JAPE Collective

From the publisher's feed

A collective of audio dramas, including THE QUIET ONE, (where an old lady struggles to get rid of her smelly husband) and WHO CARES? (a thoughtful drama originally written for the stage, now adapted for broadcast). There’s outright farce in TEETHING PROBLEMS, and a new recording of DUMMY CABS, based on the successful two act stage play of the same name. Finally, what can you read in the SIGNS? This adaptation of an American drama will have you thinking long after you finish listening…
