This was a project that came out of the pandemic, where all of a sudden, I became a director of audio drama, as well as theatre.
We created this over eight sessions with young people who had lived experience of vulnerability and isolation. The sessions became a safe, creative space for participants, and the story Andy wrote was informed by their interests and what was affecting them.
It was fantastic to have Julie Hesmondhalgh’s support with this project, as she kindly offered to voice one of our characters.
