Low Light is an ongoing narrated audio drama set in a northern English town. It has a darkish edge and a sense of humour (says me).

Meet the neighbours of Lower Leigh - the well-meaning, the curious and the devious. There is everything and nothing humdrum about these folk, puttering about their little lives or making trouble as they will. And of course, there are those among them who gaze out into the low light and tell their stories about a different world...sometimes with unusual consequences.

One cold February evening, a Storyteller dies suddenly, releasing the old dark track from its moorings and with it, tales from the past start to unravel...

...meanwhile, the criminals in the vicinity are embarking on a new project as the community mourns the loss of one of their most beloved members.

During testing times, new alliances form, old relationships crumble and its no different here except...except that in the dark earth of the track and in the tangled undergrowth and in every building’s shadowed corners there are ideas, old and new, some with wings, some with teeth and claws, testing their broken boundaries and looking for a bit of fun menacing the local human population.

Can anything be done to re-balance the equilibrium of Lower Leigh or is everyone too lazy or daft to come up with a viable plan?

Get your coat on and those wellies on standby and we’ll go and have a look and find out, shall we? Well, come on then!
