As I continue on with my PhD work at the University of Glasgow in Media & Cultural Policy, I’m so happy to share that Static: A Party Girl’s Memoir goes live on November 15th! This podcast series, co-created with Ashley King, Inside Out Theatre and Chromatic Theatre, is part of my thesis work and I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve made.
At the tender age of 18, Ashley King’s life is all about booze, boys, and parties. But when she wakes up blind on holiday, she has to face her darkest depths — grieving a new life she didn’t choose or want.
Static isn’t your typical inspiration story. It’s a poignant and funny take on the struggles and triumphs of a young woman learning to navigate the world without sight. This dark comedy asks — does everything really happen for a reason? Can joy be found in unexpected places?
This four-part series is an audio adaptation of the play Static: A Party Girl’s Memoir. Each episode starts with part of the play, performed by Ashley King as herself and Jaime Cesar as Carolina. Then, in the second half, learn more about this true story as Ashley talks to those who inspired the script.
