The Low Light Narrated Drama Podcast

Walk with me down Mimmers Lane into the low light and spend a few days in the Green with the human and not-so-human residents of Lower Leigh as its dark past is clawed from the ground. Meet the neighbours of Lower Leigh - the well-meaning, the curious and the devious, as they struggle with deranged Mims to uncover the truth, all while going about their humdrum daily business and continuing with their petty battles and secret yearnings as ordinary northern folk do, under the watchful eye of Owl and a bright crescent moon. Low Light is an ongoing narrated audio drama set in a northern English town. It has a dark edge and a sense of humour. One cold February evening, a Storyteller dies suddenly, bringing Officer Ruby Hussain into the lives of the locals as she sets out to track down the killer but soon realises there’s more to the place and the people of Lower Leigh than first meets the eye. Recommended to listen in episode order. Written, narrated and produced by Melanie Crawley for Crawley Voice Studio.

Wednesday Nov 23, 2022

With Piggy pegged, the neighbour comrades discuss a plan to get the Mims back under control. Eric doesn't want to play but when Ruby gets involved they learn much more about what might be going on. Meanwhile there's an outbreak of misery in the area and several neighbours find themselves at the mercy of the Mims and their bizarre activity. With only 24 hours to go until the Mims really let loose, will the neighbours work out what on earth is going on?

The apprentices begin to explore their talents after Elle vanquishes the vermin. Ruby witnesses the magic, or is it all trickery? She's determined to find out. Eric is put under pressure to reveal more than he wants to...is he hiding something? The wind blows us through Lower Leigh as the neighbours battle with their consciences and their memories. So much for the curfew, those streets aren't as quiet as you'd think...

The wind is relentless, storming about outside the houses in Lower Leigh. The neighbours are still up as the night ticks by, murmuring away into the early hours, they put forward their theories to one another, each idea more unlikely than the last. Some hope that the glimmering low light really does hold a magic that will keep them safe in the end, some are determined to cut through to cold reality and find the dark heart of the neighbourhood and its history, obscured as it is by selective memory and hope for a better future. And then, there is the strange man in his big cat car, prowling about. There is regret and the hollow pain of past betrayal. There is new romance. All in all, its a cauldron of a night, swirling and bubbling as we approach Eric's deadline of Mim-mayhem.

Low Light 

An ongoing narrated audio-drama with a dark edge and a sense of humour, set in a northern English town, under the moon and the watchful eye of the owl.

A Storyteller dies, leaving their old tales to menace the parish (as was) of Lower Leigh unless the neighbours can sort themselves out and come up with a plan.

A bit like an audio-book soap.
