Sound Escape Theatre

Sound Escape Theatre makes compelling audio dramas that bring history and folklore to life. Based in central Scotland, we are storytellers in sound, and our original stories take their inspiration from the folklore of the Scottish western isles to the harsh realities of wartime collaboration and medieval murder. We love a good twist - not necessarily in the plot, but in how the story unfolds. Sometimes the narrator of a tale is not the person you might expect to be telling it; sometimes the main

2025/11/04

Final episode of a six part audio drama based on the memoir of Alexander (Sandy) Barclay, who fought in the infamous Gallipoli campaign of 1915. By turns brutal, horrific and funny, the series tells of the real experiences of the men who volunteered as cavalrymen in the Ayrshire Yeomanry, only to have their horses taken away. They were retained in trench warfare and sent to Gallipoli (now in modern day Turkiye), where they were out manned, out gunned and outflanked at every turn. By now, the

The Glad Giver

Julian of Norwich is an old woman who has lived walled up in her stone cell for more than forty years. When she was thirty, she received sixteen visions or 'shewings' which she believed came from God, and she spent the rest of her life contemplating and writing about them. Julian's book, Revelations of Divine Love, is the first book we have in English that was written by a woman. The play is set in 1413 and imagines the daily life of Julian at 70. She has already completed her book but her life is

“Cousin John. Dead more than twenty years. I can’t see you, but I know you’re here. Why? You abandoned this place years ago; you neglected it and left it to strangers. Why have you come back?” Craufurdland Castle in Fenwick, Ayrshire, keeps its secrets close. It has been held in the same family for almost two thousand years. It is the early 1800s. Janet Craufurd, Lady of the house, writes in her diary, charting the progress of renovations to the estate which has suffered years of neglect. But

Sea Change

2021/02/13

Early in 2020, two of my friends remarked that my audio plays were very dark – they didn’t think I had quite such a black imagination. They asked for a love story - "with a happy ending.” So I wrote 'Sea Change', a fantasy based on the beautiful Isle of Arran, whose shores hide many mysteries and strange legends. A happy ending? Judge for yourself…

How many years does it take to feel you really belong? For Francine, living on the Isle of Donan, nothing will ever be the same now that her reason for being here is gone. But Francine is a survivor. Outwardly conventional she may be, but like a true Frenchwoman, she's up for a little rebellion when the opportunity arises.

Confessional

Sound Escape Theatre ·

2020/04/15

In 1429 Joan of Arc was burned at the stake for witchcraft. Gilles de Rais, her captain and a medieval super-hero, was convicted of child-murder and sorcery. He followed her to the stake and burned a decade later. 'Confessional' explores the link between the two events, and examines how powerful men can seem to be untouchable and unstoppable. The play contains strong language and explicit content; listener discretion is advised. SFX sourced under the BBC Rem Arc Licence: bbc.co.uk - © Copyright 2019

Collaboration

2019/04/23

In 1945 the Parisian-born singer, Edith Piaf, was investigated for charges of collaborating with the Nazi regime. Piaf was a performer, a survivor and a pragmatist, but was she a collaborator? For her, music stood beyond politics; she said: 'Ne pas chanter, c'est mourir' ('Not to sing is to die'). Both poignant and funny, the play includes explicit language and content. It also raises serious questions about truth and lies, collaboration and resistance: by failing to resist governments, how far can
