Quaker Meeting House: Health and Happiness: Two Plays for the Human Voice

Health and Happiness: Two Plays for the Human Voice, by Tom Hall

Following  Tom Hall’s successful WoWFest audio plays, Bartleby: A Tale of Wall Street (2023) and Anything for a Laugh (2024), One Hour Theatre Company presents two short plays for radio, as a collective listening experience. Set in Argentina during economic collapse, but with a British tone, My Own Free Voice features Jane Hogarth as an un-named woman, and the drama explores the centrality of family relationships to the maintenance and projection of happiness, loyalty, and the nation, under military dictatorship. Both plays are directed by Victor Merriman, featured in I Live Alone as the Protagonist, who takes another man’s turn in an A&E waiting room. Chancing his arm, this loquacious and jocular working-class Dubliner sets in train a series of unpredictable events reminiscent of the dark comedic writings of Flann O’Brien. Sound design, recording, and editing: WeZ Nolan.
