Spaces, a collection of five audio plays: Hello Agnieszka, The Positive, Room for Improvement, Cross-Roads, and Residue.
Each story invites you into a distinct audio space, to explore memory, isolation, the pain of change, and the beauty of connection.
Enjoy all that audio has to offer, as innovative sound design takes you on an eclectic journey through comedy, tragedy, absurdity, and realism.
Born out of a world in lockdown, Spaces explores how our experiences are rooted in our surroundings – ordinary spaces transformed into sites of extraordinary and intimate stories.
Listen to each play at your own leisure, in your own space or in the story setting
All are best enjoyed through headphones.
