DEAD WEATHER - This Gothic Thriller charts the move from London to rural Wales, and Sam’s abandonment by her composer husband Dylan, for his childhood sweetheart, Freya. Sam is visited by a lost and brutalised boy who claims to be the soul of a crow, pulling her into a magical and dark world, spiralling them all into a collision of envy, jealousy, and the supernatural.
Directed by Nicolas Jackson for Afonica.
Winner Best Drama, Best Actress (Juliet Aubrey) and Best Supporting Actress (Claire Price) at the BBC Audio Drama Awards 2022.
NORTHANGER ABBEY - Catherine Morland is taken to Bath for the season and finds that in her fertile imagination, danger lurks round every corner.
Starring Miriam Margolyes and directed by Sally Avens - this gloriously funny adaptation of Jane Austen classic tares into the sensationalist pulp fiction of the day.
Will Catherine (from just outside Swindon) escape the Italian Banditti lurking on every corner of eighteenth century Bath, will she reveal the brutal murder of Henry Tilney’s Mother at the hand of his father, and will she ultimately find true love.
THE ENGLISH ARE COMING - Breaking the Rules.
Ghosts of the past awaken as a community is torn apart by the housing crisis in Cornwall with Sofia Oxenham, Susan Penhaligon, and Tristan Sturrock and directed by Nicolas Jackson for Afonica.
SAPPHO IN FRAGMENTS - Set on Lesbos - a vivid episode in this elusive poets youthful life and the repercussions of Fame - with Thalissa Teixeira and Amanda Lawrence and directed by Mary Ward-Lowery
