Audio drama - beginning with three classic Irish Science Fiction stories adapted from A Brilliant Void, an anthology published by Tramp Press. These are stories written between 1858 and 1915, featuring a young man obsessed the microscopic world, a Professor who is in different to the human cost of his new discovery, and a scientist who discovers the secret of eternal youth - and regret's its use. Sci-Fi can be very focussed on the future for obvious reasons, but it can also tell us a lot about the past: what once seemed plausible, and why. But more than that, these are great stories, where extraordinary things happen in extraordinary ways. All told with a great cast and full sound design.
