Final episode of a six part audio drama based on the memoir of Alexander (Sandy) Barclay, who fought in the infamous Gallipoli campaign of 1915.

They were retained in trench warfare and sent to Gallipoli (now in modern day Turkiye), where they were out manned, out gunned and outflanked at every turn. By now, the sol...

Early in 2020, two of my friends remarked that my audio plays were very dark – they didn't think I had quite such a black imagination. They asked for a love story - "with a happy ending." So I wrote 'Sea Change', a fantasy based on the beautiful Isle of Arran, whose shores hide many mysteries and strange legends. A happy ending? Judge for yourself…

In 1429 Joan of Arc was burned at the stake for witchcraft. Gilles de Rais, her captain and a medieval super-hero, was convicted of child-murder and sorcery. He followed her to the stake and burned a decade later. 'Confessional' explores the link between the two events, and examines how powerful men can seem to be untouchable and unstoppable. The play contains strong language and explicit content; listener discretion is advised. SFX sourced under the BBC Rem Arc Licence: bbc.co.uk - © Copyright ...

In 1945 the Parisian-born singer, Edith Piaf, was investigated for charges of collaborating with the Nazi regime. Piaf was a performer, a survivor and a pragmatist, but was she a collaborator? For her, music stood beyond politics; she said: 'Ne pas chanter, c'est mourir' ('Not to sing is to die'). Both poignant and funny, the play includes explicit language and content. It also raises serious questions about truth and lies, collaboration and resistance: by failing to resist governments, how far ...
