Hello again, lovely friends. I'm throwing a little teaser video here to ask for your support! Pls read til the end if you can bear it!
During lockdown 2020, I directed & performed in a hugely poignant and darkly comic piece intended for fringe but which we quickly turned into an audio play when that was no longer an option!
Trigger warning - it's about a cancer support group who, deciding they have 'Nothing to Lose', decide to rob a bank on the High St, using an ice cream van as a getaway vehicle.
It's written by my bff - another fabulous female moving away from journalism and into writing - novels and plays.
Anyway, I'm bothering you with this bse we're finally submitting it to the UK Radio Drama Festival but it has to have a public 'airing ' in advance of next Thursday's deadline, to be eligible.
So, next week, I'll be crowdfunding with a very, tiny ticket price and premiering on YouTube.
Pls don't feel pressured to buy a ticket but I'd be super grateful if you could spread the word to anyone who might be keen on audio drama. It's 47 mins long! All the creatives worked gratis during the super difficult time that lockdown was, so if we can recoup any of those costs at all, it would be an absolute joy!
(Ps. I've just thrown this trailer together as a teaser, it's not super quality. The audio production however, is pretty good - despite being recorded remotely!).
