    Ballymuck Exchange -Episode 3 of 3 'Cutting The Chord'

    A Sightless Cinema audio comedy by White Cane Audio Theatre and Ciarán Taylor. Sound by Gerry Horan of Contact Studio It's a cold November night in the early nineteen seventies. Denis is settling in for a few whiskeys, and a quiet night operating one of the last manual telephone exchanges, in the close-knit village of Ballymuck -somewhere near Drogheda. ‘Blow-in’ Tony needs an ambulance for his wife Sinéad who's gone into labour, but the axle is bust from the potholes, the GP is in a poker game, and the new Garda has everyone on edge. When an urgent call comes in from the Missions in Africa, Denis’ wires soon get crossed and the whole village gets caught up in the tangle. Ballymuck Exchange is the latest audio play devised and recorded online by Sightless Cinema, Tallaght with director Ciarán Taylor. The group of blind and visually impaired participants have been creating audio events in Cinemas since 2015. Funded by South Dublin County Council, and supported by Contact Studio.
