{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The JAPE Collective","slug":"theJAPEcollective","podcastDescription":"

A collective of audio dramas, including THE QUIET ONE, (where an old lady struggles to get rid of her smelly husband) and WHO CARES? (a thoughtful drama originally written for the stage, now adapted for broadcast). There’s outright farce in TEETHING PROBLEMS, and a new recording of DUMMY CABS, based on the successful two act stage play of the same name. Finally, what can you read in the SIGNS? This adaptation of an American drama will have you thinking long after you finish listening…

All material performed by Jacqui Padden, Sandie Keane, Peter Franksson and Alan Veale, and written by award-winning scriptwriters, Peter and Alan.

Scott and Val have come to a posh restaurant for a “special” occasion – but their anniversary dinner does not go to plan. While Scott’s attempt to pop the question is initially foiled by an old flame, Val’s many previous relationships provoke more questions than there are items on the menu! (This was the first collaboration written jointly by Peter Franksson and Alan Veale.)
