COUPLES 

Written and Directed by Thom McKeown

A 5-SCENE AUDIO DRAMA

Public Address' music programmes have proven to be hugely successful in terms of substantial downloads and positive feedback from Podcast listeners. 

We now plan to diversify our output to present contemporary audio drama to the many millions of enthusiasts worldwide who access these programmes.

To this end - COUPLES will be performed, edited and presented as an Audio Drama through the Public Address platform on Podbean - offering the opportunity for our work and that of the acting cast to reach numerous demographics globally. It will also be presented to several large radio station outlets for broadcast.

If you're a talented voice actor and are interested in this project - please read on and get in touch as soon as possible - details below:

1: REPERCUSSIONS  Alice is behaving oddly as she sits facing her partner Kevin, who is aware that something is troubling her, so he attempts to find out what the problem is. The performances should convey the mutual hurt that develops.
