Sue Pender’s Graveyard Shift
A 57-minute original Irish radio drama, set in a small rural town on the night of an approaching storm.
At the centre of the story is Sue Pender, a late-night radio DJ broadcasting to her local community. Between weather updates, phone calls and music, the programme captures the peculiar humour and intimate familiarity of small-town life.
An original production blending dramatic storytelling, radio broadcasts and music.
