Check out the audio performance of the work by Vanessa Nicol
Guilt. It creeps up on you. Lurking in doubt’s oily shadow, darkening your thoughts, inching right up your spine.
That’s why six-year-old James can’t sleep. Can’t stop re-living his mother’s death. His thoughts roiling as the storm rages outside his bedroom window.
“Your mind is playing tricks on you,” says his older sister, Lizzy.
But he sees it: His mother, in a white gown, standing on the front lawn.
Lizzy’s protests drowned out as the storm crests, thunder and lightning booming in deafening waves.
THEN BLACK.
Power’s out. And they’re not alone. Someone’s in the house.
Lizzy fumbles desperately for a flashlight, trains a shaky beam of light on the bedroom door.
As it CREAKS open…

Listened to the audio version. Impressive. Some really nice acting and terrific sound effects create the scary atmosphere. The only qualm I had is working out the denouement without reading the script. Hopefully the audio play will get someone cracking on the filmed version. I’d be pretty chuffed with this if I were Zack. They really did bring the script to life. 🙂
