Alisdair Adams – One Act Plays

Join us for a series of different individual audiodrama productions written by Alisdair Adams and recorded by a group of highly talented performers in our home town of Sheffield.

All of them are stories with a modern contemporary outlook, that we hope will warm your heart and make you laugh.

If your own audiodrama or local theater group would like to perform this work or collaborate with Alisdair, then he can be reached by email here.

Mary and Jean

Two very good friends Mary and Jean are visiting the Sheffield Cathedral, listening to the church organ music, viewing the medieval art and enjoying their sandwiches. But what is Jean going on about? Illuminati Ham? Vajazzling? King Tutankamun’s Chiropodist? They’re soon joined by two other ladies and the conversation gets even stranger, including a story about a tragic accident involving triangular chocolate.

It’s just another crazy day in the middle of the steel city. Trust us; it’s better than volunteering as a sniper in the Bolivian Women’s army!

The Light Within

Peter has died due to complications caused by HIV; leaving his husband, ex-wife and son to pick up the pieces. We join them as they prepare to move out of their central London apartment, thinking about the past they all shared and what a new uncertain future might bring. Secrets will be shared and broken relationships explored in this new audiodrama about a modern blended family which will warm your heart.

Natalie and Jen

Two old friends chat over zoom, solving each other’s problems and revealing their own secrets. The conversation is much like life itself; sometimes serious, sometimes silly and always unique.

So make sure your webcam is turned on and come join us!
