The second series of audio drama from women writers started broadcasting in 2020, but unfortunately production was halted due to Covid-19.
The first 4 audio dramas are available now. 2 more have been recorded remotely and currently I’m currently hard at work on post production for them. A final episode is still to be recorded.
We’ve secured funding for a third series and the scripts are currently being finalised and we hope to go into production on them early in 2022.
“All Honey” by Ciara Elizabeth Smyth
All honey is a dark, modern day farce about a group of friends forced to face each other’s deadly sins. The play takes place in the apartment of Ru and Luke, a couple in their early 30’s, who are throwing a housewarming party. However, their guests seem more interested in whispering in the box room than joining the festivities. Infidelities, secrets and an uninvited guest mean that Ru & Luke will have to clean up more than red wine stains and glitter. This piece is strongly concerned with people indulging in their sexual desires and letting their egos take over. All honey is about seeing your closest friends for the depraved individuals they really are.

“Allie Down the Boghole” by Megan McDonnell
The story follows Allie, a young girl in rural Ireland who is something of a latch-key child. She is, more often than not, left alone by her noticeably absent Mam and joined by her one friend, Jo, who keeps her company and tries to get Allie out of her comfort zone. Through Allie and Jo we meet the sometimes strange characters of the village and we discover the darker undertones of this isolated life. Mam’s presence is always looming in the background and there is a growing sense of unease which turns quite sinister as Allie grows closer to finding out certain truths about her life.
NOTE: Contains scenes some listeners may find distressing.
