The incredible eight-part full-cast audio drama written and created by Sebastian Baczkiewicz and directed by Jessica Dromgoole. It’s just a message, right? Daubed on walls, trending on socials, appearing in every language in every country all over the world and always reading the same. Nobody knows where it originated, only that it can’t be ignored. And then – in the blink of an eye – everything changes. Activated alien DNA, long buried within each and every one of us, transforms the majority of the human race. Cities are abandoned. Civilisation discarded. Suddenly, we’re not humans anymore, we’re… Lonely No More. Or most of us are… For those still unactivated and “lonely”, it’s now about learning to survive in the ruins of an unwanted and terrifying world. See, the apocalypse isn’t coming, it’s already here. LONELY NO MORE is an Audiama production recorded at BBC Cymru Wales. • Executive Producer: Francis Hellyer • Producers: Ed Perkins and Mali Harries • Sound Design and Original Music: Jon Nicholls • Studio Engineer: Cathy Robinson • Production Co-ordinator: Mair Roberts Starring: Nikesh: Gavi Singh Chera Nina: Olivia Vinall Christina: Edita Sllamniku Syed: Bhasker Patel Xavi: Joe Thomas Liv: Gwyneth Keyworth Osmond: Matthew Gravelle Taylor: Aimee Ffion Edwards Benedetto: Patrick Kennedy Urqhart: Michael Bertenshaw Demelza: Saskia West Lucette: Kimberley Nixon Clifton: Luke Newberry TLK: Matthew Tennyson Freddy/Dr: Jonathan McGuiness Haroun: Sid Sagar Police: James Wilson Sally/Police: Eiry Thomas Zach: Gareth Pierce Vinny: Nay Murphy Hinata: Leo Wan Various: Claire Cage Various: Iestyn Jones Additional vocals: Stephanie MacGaraidh
