We recently recorded 3 Ibsen plays in just 6 days for Audible. A Doll's House and Hedda Gabler starring Laura Carmichael and Enemy of the People starring Owen Teale. Here, on day 3, we speak to director David Beck about the joys, and trials, of this kind of project.

Mary is in her forties and her dream of having a child is finally fulfilled when she gives birth to a boy she calls Angel. From the start she neglects her husband as she devotes all her time to looking after their new baby. But then she notices that he is starting to grow wings.

Richard O'Brien was the judge for our live recording of three shortlisted audio plays to open The London Horror Festival, 2012. After judging the plays he treated us all to an impromptu gig of several songs, including The Time Warp and other Rocky Horror Show classics.

Few things are as invigorating as a gin and tonic with ice and a slice, don’t you agree? Mind you, I’ve never been to Lourdes or white water rafting. That Strongbow was a mistake though. A definite mistake.

These hot tears tumble from eyes who see all and yet see not, wings spread, I soar through the memory, our joining, our lot.

We requested alternative Valentine’s Day scripts and fell in love with this one by Adam Elms. Have a listen yourself.
