Perfect Retreat 5A - Live Performance Scenes and Songs - extra
Massive apologies for the delay in getting out the final episode of Perfect Retreat. Life events intervened, but Episode 6 is now in post-production.
This is a recording from the Audio Drama Hub Podfest, held in High Wycombe in November 2022.
In this, there was a slot for new podcasts – and we were lucking enough to gather together many of our international cast to perform some live scenes and singing performances from Perfect Retreat (including the intro/outro song, by Karin Heimdahl, who travelled all the way from Sweden for the occasion! and Sarah Golding singing Zinnia's song "Smile", which she wrote.)
Not all the podcast cast could be present for these scenes from the show, and we were extremely grateful to Karim Kronfli and Michael Hudson for standing in.
