One-Seventeen AM

Funny and moving stories as Sarah tries to be more positive and the family’s pet hamster gets a trip to the vets. From 2018.

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

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

This second volume of Sarah Kendall's Australian Trilogy, is one show in three parts. A collection of seemingly unconnected stories and memories, which, together, form a meditation on luck, survival and hindsight.

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

In this second part, Sarah is trying to be more positive. She tells us of a trip to the vets with the family's pet hamster, of a car accident she was in as a child, and of a day at a clinic with her son. And we find out that hamsters originate from Syria.

Written by Sarah Kendall and Carl Cooper.

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