Metro Radio interview with Fans director Melanie

aim for the horizon
written by gobscure
directed by Melanie Rashbrooke
performed by James Barton and Craig Fairbairn
sound design by Craig Spence and gobscure 

In 2007, on the 200th anniversary of the transatlantic abolition of the slave-trade, two lads meet on top of a northern fell, half a life-time on. One fell here, then did a runner. The other lived with their guilt. Having climbed through the mist and out and into sunshine, they kiss, laugh, cry and start on a tentative journey towards freedom.

Listening notes: 
If safe for you to do so, you are invited to listen to this opening extract from 'aim to the horizon' whilst outside in nature; walking in the countryside, in a garden or on your favourite hilltop. Take a flask of coffee and a packet of crisps with you. Find yourself a calm spot, put your headphones in, and join Dee and Mol in a moment of escape on top of a northern fell. 

This extract is taken from the opening section of 'aim for the horizon', a new one act play that is currently in development with writer gobscure and The Six Twenty; originally developed as part of Alphabetti Theatre’s Write Longe r programme.
