Homesick

What is home? Is it simply where you live? Jeff has always lived in Worcester with his agoraphobic mother. One day, up a ladder fitting a satellite dish, he is struck in the head. Jeff is laid off work; he has headaches, vertigo and hears a voice in his head. A life-changing voice.

“Like all good sci-fi, Anita Sullivan’s clever contribution to the science-fiction season is nothing to do with outer space, but everything to do with the human condition. It requires a lot of concentration, yet has a lovely comic touch; it is a triumph of sound techniques yet tells a basic human story. It is, simply, fantastic.” Frances Lass, Radio Times
