| A short story written and performed by Patrick Gale
A live reading of Wig, a black comedy about a housewife in suburban hell
and a hairpiece with a will of its own, set to a specially commissioned
soundscape designed by sound artist Jon Nicholls.
When downtrodden mother and wife Wanda impulsively buys a blonde wig,
it’s just a bit of morale-boosting fun. She has no idea that the wig will tempt
her into breaking all her careful suburban rules, drawing out a dangerous side
to her personality…
