Erotophobe ladette Sammy (24) is unexpectedly thrown on-air under the mononym ‘Angelique’, where she naively takes on the persona of an audio dominatrix.

Set in the late 1990s with ladette culture in full swing, and the pre #metoo assumption that all young women are obsessed with sex, this semi-autobiographical audio drama from Tash Desborough hits a zeitgeist nerve, and questions misogyny in the workplace and assumed attitudes on sex and sexiness.
Suitable for adult audiences 18+

Trigger warnings – Depiction and talk of experiencing indecent exposure, panic attacks, anxiety, sex addiction.
