Running Backwards
Audio
A fustian middle-aged misanthrope - fatigued by his own mediocrity and foundering in the wake of his wife’s death, is blackmailed by a pernicious barrow-boy book agent and forced into a harebrained road trip in order to document an investigation into his own guilt.
Talking book / serialised drama / podcast
Running Backwards takes the form of a rambling comic journal documenting the author’s kak-handed investigation into the death of a student thirty years previously, for which he might, or might perhaps not, be culpable.
Quickly proving himself to be an inept detective, he stumbles through his adventure, failing to find much in the way of wits to live off, and blundering into the complicated lives of discarded university acquaintances who he hopes will lead him to a possible accomplice - the one person able to shed light on the demise of their alleged victim.
When a former girlfriend, now a journalist, takes an interest in his story and threatens an investigation of her own, his mission assumes greater urgency.
Five episodes have been produced as proof of concept.
