  • The Nest

Two audio dramas written by Simon James starring Chester school children.

Minibeasts
Starring Eden-May Woolford, Ben Nelson and Eira Ainsworth
Three primary school friends have found themselves on different tables, all because of their teacher’s new ‘minibeast’ labelling system: they are now Butterfly, Moth… and Worm. After quickly working out the hierarchy of the learning groups, they start to realise that their designated minibeast may be a more permanent part of their identity than they first thought.

Imagination Games
Starring Eleanor Melia as Molly and Harry Assinder
Molly and Sam are best friends who battle robot armies and partake in space travel… all within the comfort of the children’s home in which they live. Molly thrives on teaching Sam the craft of imagination, but will the same rules apply when it comes to creating a life outside of Brook Vale?
