We explore inside the making of our Audio Drama, From Sad Shires and the historical event that inspired the Podcast. In this episode we talk to the writer of From Sad Shires, Clive Stubbings.

Little Pixie Productions normally create and tour theatre, taking it out to local communities. Something which has proven rather difficult this year due to the live performing restrictions surrounding Covid-19.

This Podcast is the result of our response to the restrictions imposed during the pandemic, creating a piece of new work but sharing it with an audience digitally instead of through live performance.

Our Audio Drama was recorded remotely by the actors involved, using whatever equipment they had available and is available to listen to now.
