«Evocative of strangeness with creative and original use of sound, this is a psychologically intricate drama that manages to both unsettle and intrigue. Driven by outstanding performances and a vivid and persuasive sense of place, this play extends and utilises all the possibilities of the form.» –  Judges, BBC Audio Drama 2022

Following a move from London to rural Wales, Sam is abandoned by her composer husband, Dylan, for Freya, his childhood sweetheart. Sam is devastated and haunted by the memory of a place by the sea where Dylan wrote a sonata just for her. When a lost young crow turns up in her garden, Sam takes it in and nurtures it. But this act of compassion will unleash a series of events that drive her to the edge of madness.

A magical tale exploring the indelible traces that happiness leaves.
