If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it where does the sound go? In the Sound Castle every unheard sound is stored away in boxes safely kept in silence until two intruders break in to listen. Magellan is the daughter of explorers and intends to make some discoveries of her own for scientific and personal reasons. Gadget is Magellan’s cousin and has lived all his life in the shadow of the Sound Castle, but never really ventured in until now. You are invited to listen in to their broadcast as they find their way into the enigmatic and near-endless underground archive.

Sound Castle is a radio play in the 2020 Shortwave Theatre Festival written by Sarah Emtage (me), directed by Becky Bridger, starring Francesca Pang and Douglas Connors, and sound designed by Jeremy Kerr, with Matt Rogalsky.
