Product Description

“TRUE! Nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why WILL you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! And observe how healthily, how calmly, I can tell you the whole story.” Edgar Allen Poe.

Starring : Knight Mantell, David Beck, Jessica Dennis, Leonie Hill, Josh Cass and Andrew Glenn.

Written By: Stuart Price

Foley By: Jack Bowman, Dean Elliott and Reuben Anderson

Edited By: Scott Wiber

Directed By : Stuart Price

Music By : Michael Bruce

Running Time : 59 mins

“Wireless’s live show was an Edgar Allen Poe inspired horror, and listening to it on air meant that your imagination could run riot and conjure imagery far scarier than a set designer could budget for.” THE GUARDIAN

OTHER TITLES BY STUART PRICE INCLUDE; ON THREE, THE YOUTH OF OLD AGE AND THE PIPER & MUSICIANS OF BREMMEN

Burke and Hare, Part One
This is the story of the infamous 19th Century Scottish Grave-robbers who weren’t Scottish and didn’t rob graves. They were actually Irish and as robbing graves to supply the needs of Edinburgh’s anatomists proved to be rather hard work, they just took to murdering people – usually their neighbours – for profit. In collaboration with their common-law wives they set about supplying corpses for Dr John Knox an eminent Scottish surgeon with considerable enthusiasm and gusto. The play follows their business exploits from small beginnings, through their days of peak output to the final reckoning – set against a world that is becoming recognisably modern. .

Both are abandoned as children, found by farmers and grow up to be shepherds. The novel is set against a breath-taking pastoral backdrop, with Daphnis and Chloe being at one with the nature, and as beautiful and unknowing as the land that surrounds them. Such is their innocence that although they long for each other’s company, neither know that the feeling they have towards one another is love. And as that feeling becomes stronger, other forces intercede to prevent their union: pirates, wealth, poverty and seducers plot to separate the potential lovers. . Listen to Snippet: . .

Ladies, starring Alison Steadman
Ladies
Ladies was inspired by the very real and very fraught campaign at the turn of the 20th Century to build a ladies' loo just outside Camden Town tube. Restricted toilet facilities for women were causing social, political and economic problems at the time, to address the issue a proposal to build a women’s public convenience on Park St was made to the St Pancras Vestry council, and greeted with unsurprising but enthusiastic horror. The story behind this radio play is very real, though these characters have been created purely for your titillation. Starring Alison Steadman. . Listen to Snippet: . . SCROLL DOWN FOR CREDITS
