<![CDATA[Echoes of Shadows]]> https://echoesofshadowsaudiodrama.squarespace.com/ Can you ever truly escape your past?

That's the question which haunts Connie, a journalist on a small fictional island in this 10-part audio drama series, 'Echoes of Shadows.'

Connie was never popular in school. She had to lose herself in order to fit in. Now in her 30s, it doesn’t seem as though any jobs are a good fit for her: her degree in English Literature took her to journalism which she isn’t sure is actually what she wants to do. Her life just seems to be a never-ending rollercoaster of lows and more lows going off the rails every year. It might seem on the surface she’s got it all figured out but in reality, she’s sinking.

Fiadh is living in a flat with no electricity or food. She’s too embarrassed to ask for help. Her dad is a drug addict and she has unfortunately gone the same way: heroin just seems to have that kick to make her forget about everything.

Connie hasn’t seen Fi since 2015. And the last time they saw each other it was kind of complicated. When they reunite, it’s as if nothing has changed, but their lives have massively.

‘Echoes of Shadows’ was written and directed by Helen McKenna and hopes to bring to light topics such as addiction, domestic and sexual abuse, poverty and mental health to raise awareness for Isle of Man Foodbank, Motiv8 and Victim Support Isle of Man.
