Kisses in the Dark

Against the bright lights of Blackpool, a supernatural killer is at work and a dark and dangerous love affair begins…

A sinister, disturbingly romantic seven part podcast audio drama written by Marty Ross and starring Con O’Neill (Our Flag Means Death, Chernobyl, The Batman) and Rhiannon Clements (Hollyoaks).

A contemporary Gothic horror tale set against a background of life on the narrow edge between Pleasure Beach and wild cold sea, between secret desire and a deadly evil.

Kisses in the Dark was written and recorded (over Zoom) during the first UK Covid-19 pandemic lockdown.

Kisses in the Dark has charted in 36 countries around the world (Apple Podcasts Charts). As high as #7 in the UK, #15 in the USA, #1 in seven countries.

Produced and Directed by Paul Ludden.

FREE TRADE HALL

FEATURED POD PLAY®:

It’s June 1976 and a group called The Sex Pistols are playing a gig at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester. The group are just starting out and everyone is talking about them and their style of music, ‘Punk Rock’ they are calling it, and Derek wants to be a part of it…

It won’t be easy but he’s just got to get fifty pence for his ticket, coz if there’s going to be Anarchy In The UK then he wants to be part of it, and like Jonny Rotten says he’s got ‘No Future’ plus anyone who’s anyone is going to be there…

ELVIS IN MANCHESTER

FEATURED POD PLAY®:

In the early 70’s Elvis Presley returns from thirteen years of concentrating on movie roles to perform his “Summer Festival” run of shows in Las Vegas.

What if.. His reinvigorated love for live performance sees him embark on a European tour, eventually bringing him to Manchester in the North of England. A million miles away from the fakery of Vegas and the cauldron like atmosphere he has to deal with in the States.

A chance for Elvis to perform to a new audience, enjoy new experiences and answer questions from a DJ at a fledgling local Manchester radio station.

THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT

FEATURED POD PLAY®:

At Samaritans, they call it compassion fatigue.

When you’ve climbed into that hole, shared that load, walked in those shoes one too many times then realise you don’t care anymore.

Beth thinks she doesn’t, but there’s one caller out there who needs her and no one else will do.
