Seventy-Three Seconds

Multi-award-winning storyteller Sarah Kendal returns with more hilarious, gripping and moving stories: childhood. From 2018.

"Good luck, bad luck, who can tell..."

The return of multi-award winning storyteller Sarah Kendall with more hilarious, gripping and moving stories.

The trilogy showcases a collection of seemingly unconnected stories and memories, which, together, combine to form a meditation on luck, survival and hindsight.

Scrolling backwards and forwards in time to different moments in her life, Sarah creates an intricate montage, demonstrating the interconnectedness of life.

In the first of three parts, Sarah shares her childhood memories of her brother's 6th birthday party, of their first pet and of her family gathering on the lawn to catch a glimpse of Halley's Comet in 1986. Plus an insight into the process of how this show came together, as Sarah watches a video of the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster.

Written by Sarah Kendall and Carl Cooper.

Producer: Carl Cooper

A ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Studios production for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2018.
