Edward Bond's Chair
Chair Written specially for radio by Edward Bond, this drama is set in the year 2077, a time when all our needs are provided for but our freedom is severely curtailed. Alice has been living with a secret she dare not disclose. Neighbours and relatives are dangerous to confide in or even speak to. A thought-provoking exploration of the human capacity for brutality, and ultimately, the inability to deny our humanity.

A Happy Find
Dani Cormier
I was so very glad to come across this title. For some time now I had been looking for this audio drama. I first heard it as part of a podcast, and it is one of those stories that stays with you. At least it did with me and I wanted to hear it again. But for the life of me I couldn’t remember which podcast it was part of. I began searching but since I am an avid listener of anthology audio dramas in particular, this was no small thing. I had all but abandoned hope but then came across it here, quite by accident in fact. For any fans of dystopian drama, you are in for a treat. A very well crafted story that will no doubt haunt you, as it did me. Thank you for ending my search and for providing this excellent title
