GARDEN PATH comprises two brand new audio comedies, one written by Tim Burton (whose first audio play HAVING was performed at the CornerHOUSE in December 2009) and the other by his daughter Emma, whose short comedy IT SUPPORT was chosen for the CornerHOUSE’s ‘One Act Wonders 2007’.
Tim, who is also directing both plays, explains: “Emma and I were both inspired by recent events to write a comedy for radio that explores the nature of truth and honesty. We decided that the plays should be performed in tandem, and share some common features, as well as the same theme. We then retired to our separate dens and tackled the brief from our own, particular perspective. The result is two contrasting, yet similarly wry, takes on the same universal subject.”
Although the two comedies share the same title, theme and opening and closing lines, the settings could not be more different. Tim’s play is set in an MP’s main residence in early 2009, and Emma’s in a second-hand lunar ferry almost ninety years later. When it comes to telling the truth though, it seems nothing much changes.
