SImon Perkins' Lurgy CD (Mulgrave Audio)

SIMON PERKINS’ LURGY
By Bob Fischer

An original audio drama starring Ethan Warren and Roger Limb

“And now, an extra programme for students of Module DD305: Simon Perkins’ Lurgy. In this lecture, Professor Ronald Beardyweirdy examines Simon’s subconscious mind, and asks whether the increasingly strange and surreal nature of his dreams is the sign of a deeper, more chronic psychological condition…”

It’s September 1974, and listless teenager Simon Perkins still hasn’t gone back to school. Suffering from a debilitating and unspecified “lurgy”, he drifts through daytime naps on his grandmother’s settee, his only company the babble of the Open University modules on TV. And when the sinister continuity announcer begins to initiate conversations with him, Simon also begins to question the state of his mental health.

But could the television provide unlikely salvation from his torpor? All Simon has to do is reach out and touch the screen...
