About this listen

A collective of audio dramas, including THE QUIET ONE, (where an old lady struggles to get rid of her smelly husband) and WHO CARES? (a thoughtful drama originally written for the stage, now adapted for broadcast). There’s outright farce in TEETHING PROBLEMS, and a new recording of DUMMY CABS, based on the successful two act stage play of the same name. Finally, what can you read in the SIGNS? This adaptation of an American drama will have you thinking long after you finish listening…

All material performed by Jacqui Padden, Sandie Keane, Peter Franksson and Alan Veale, and written by award-winning scriptwriters, Peter and Alan.

    SIGNS
    Oct 30 2025

    Seventy-six-year-old Madeleine McGlyn is confined to a secure institution under the Mental Health Act. She’s been there for over 35 years, but listen carefully to her story. Why does Dr Bailey figure so strongly in her life? How does an innocent kiss from a Sleeping Beauty lead to such trauma? The Signs were already there in the beginning…

    This is an adaptation of Michael Mau’s original script from Season 2 of A Blind Play of Social Forces.

    “I love this version. I could feel the benign menace in her voice. The nostalgia for a life she never had. Bravo.” Michael Mau
