Haddock by Max Raeburn (Radio Play) at Bloomsbury Festival

(As part of Bloomsbury Festival) This radio play chronicles the lives of people living within an Irish Harbour Town in the 1950s. It is a comedy that mimics a folk tale, and features a couple questioning their faith in their religion, each other and themselves.

We see Mary and Frank at 3 different but equally significant points in their relationship. Frank, a lonesome and troubled fisherman, wrestles with his own inadequacies that prevent him from truly committing himself to that which is important in his life. Mary, a folk-tale obsessive that longs for a life at sea, is imprisoned in mundanity and a marriage that is devoid of faith. Things come to a head when Frank brings home a fish for dinner that he curiously did not catch.

Part of Bloomsbury Festival’s New Wave programme, a platform for emerging talent.
