What's the Story, Ashley Storrie?

Available for over a year

While her mum may have returned in bird-form (ahem), Ashley鈥檚 also being pecked at by the last argument they had before she died. She continues to try and dodge talking about it with the irritatingly persistent therapist in her head (yup, it鈥檚 a thing). There are lots of other voices in there too, including some archaeologists she鈥檚 having a fight with, and some cult members that reject her 鈥 despite her superior hair-braiding skills. And while she revisits her mum鈥檚 final weeks, and their shifting dynamic, she also explains her impeccable logic behind her phobia of the sea and shares her psychologically scarring method for crying on camera. Don鈥檛 try that at home kids鈥 Hilariously poignant and deeply personal, this is Ashley鈥檚 soul in sound. Produced by Julia Sutherland Sound Design by Sean Kerwin A Dabster production for 麻豆社 Radio 4
