World Premiere
Written by Liza Birkenmeier
Directed by Katie Brook
radio island tells the story of an international hostage negotiator who returns to her childhood home where global and local worlds collide as memory, family, and buried histories surface. What begins as a homecoming in this gothic thriller becomes something far less predictable – a reckoning with people, places, and unfinished business that whispers ‘silence is more dangerous than you think.’
Starring Siovhan Christensen and Helena Ruoti
Featuring Treasure Treasure
