Adults, Almost on BBC Radio 4.
A new programme with Company Three members first aired Tuesday 8 June at 11am on BBC Radio 4.
A few months ago we were approached by Monica Whiltlock of Storyscape Ltd to collaborate on a programme for BBC Radio 4. Merging archive material from The Coronavirus Time Capsule with new interviews, Monica and her team created a programme that explores the lives of our members during lockdown.
Using recordings from their phones, our members created lively, intimate scenes from family life, reflecting on what it means to come of age without the usual rites of passage like exams and school leaving parties. They have lost much - but, as the year went on, they found sides to themselves that took them by surprise, and a new appreciation of relationships with others.
Presented by Kezia Adewale and Shilton Freeman, the programme includes songs, jokes, sound recordings and thoughts from many other members of the company.
Sound design and original music by Jon Nicholls.
Produced by Monica Whitlock.
