The story about a day in October, 1990, when Sarah saw a miracle happen, affecting her and her classmates. From 2017.
Multi-award winning storyteller Sarah Kendall, brings her critically acclaimed trilogy of funny and moving, live shows to ±«Óãtv Radio.
"This show is a story about a day in October in 1990, when I saw a miracle happen to a boy, and his name was George Peach..."
The story of Sarah's secret relationship with bullied classmate, George Peach. Following an accident at the beach, George Peach died for exactly 11 seconds. Sarah's story examines the remarkable effect those eleven seconds had on Sarah and her schoolmates. The show plays with the relationship between fiction and real-life and explores the redemptive power of storytelling.
A Day in October won the 2018 Writers' Guild Award the Audio Drama Award for best comedy production.
Taking her audience on a trip, Sarah gives a unique snapshot of small-town life in Australia in the early 90s. At a time when most people were seeing Australians through the filter of '±«Óãtv and Away' and 'Neighbours', Sarah's shows present a darker underbelly to the stereotype of the sun-loving, happy-go-lucky Aussie teenager.
Written and performed by Sarah Kendall.
Producer: Carl Cooper
A ±«Óãtv Studios production for ±«Óãtv Radio 4, first broadcast in February 2017.
