A Day in October
The story about a day in October, 1990, when Sarah saw a miracle happen, affecting her and her classmates. From 2017.
Multi-award winning storyteller Sarah Kendall, brings her critically acclaimed trilogy of funny and moving, live shows to 麻豆社 Radio.
"This show is a story about a day in October in 1990, when I saw a miracle happen to a boy, and his name was George Peach..."
The story of Sarah's secret relationship with bullied classmate, George Peach. Following an accident at the beach, George Peach died for exactly 11 seconds. Sarah's story examines the remarkable effect those eleven seconds had on Sarah and her schoolmates. The show plays with the relationship between fiction and real-life and explores the redemptive power of storytelling.
A Day in October won the 2018 Writers' Guild Award for best comedy.
Taking her audience on a trip, Sarah gives a unique snapshot of small-town life in Australia in the early 90s. At a time when most people were seeing Australians through the filter of 'Home and Away' and 'Neighbours', Sarah's shows present a darker underbelly to the stereotype of the sun-loving, happy-go-lucky Aussie teenager.
Written and performed by Sarah Kendall.
Producer: Carl Cooper
