Highland Arts Theatre Radio Presents
Episode Three: "Speed of Life"
Written & Directed by Scott Sharplin
Sound Design by Scott Sharplin & Ohan Vandermeer
Featuring the voice talents of Dave Petrie as Ludd and Scott Sharplin as the Narrator.
In a world where animals speak, an old barnyard mule recounts his days on the Barrowman farm to his dear friend, Deere, unconsciously revealing the truth behind his lifelong mantra: "On this Earth, as in Heaven: SPEED equals LOVE."
Warning: Some mild mature content which may not be appropriate for younger listeners. Discretion is advised.
The original production was directed by Scott Sharplin and developed by Cape Breton University as part of the Elizabeth Boardmore One-Act Play Festival. It would have premiered in March 2020, before being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Before that, it was originally written to be a part of “Good Animals”, an anthology play that premiered at the Highland Arts Theatre in January 2019, before being cut from the production due to time constraints. We are thrilled to finally bring it to life.
