A Brilliant Void

STG Productions

Audio drama - beginning with three classic Irish Science Fiction stories adapted from A Brilliant Void, an anthology published by Tramp Press, bringing these stories to life with great actors, expert sound design and original music.
These are stories written between 1858 and 1915. Sci-Fi can be very focussed on the future for obvious reasons, but it can also tell us a lot about the past: what once seemed plausible, and why.
But more than that, these are great stories, where extraordinary things happen in extraordinary ways.
