In this episode we share two short audio dramas by Nottingham based playwright and short fiction author Robbie Laughton.

These were two of four plays we recorded with Robbie and our cast in August.  You can listen to our first podcast featuring Robbie's dramas "Hairy Fairy" and "Tormeted" which has since been featured on BBC Radio, here https://www.buzzsprout.com/411730/episodes/15864824

Please note that "Dog Only Knows", our second drama contains very strong and abusive language throughout.  Listener discretion is advised. 

Hair's Breadth

In “Hair's Breadth” by Robbie Laughton Chris Gregory played Bob, John was played by David Monteith and Emma by Holy Gillanders.   Other voices were played by members of the cast.
