DRAMATURG

In a dingy radio booth, a washed-up radio host clings to the threads of her career. Left alone to present The Paranormal Show, Terie spins kitsch haunted-house jingles and Cereal ads to a dwindling audience.

But tonight, something’s listening.
And it’s broadcasting back.

Premiering at 53two, Manchester.
