Sarah Kendall: Australian Trilogy

Multi-award winning storyteller Sarah Kendall brings her critically acclaimed trilogy of funny and moving live shows to Radio 4.

Taking us on a trip, Sarah gives us a unique snapshot of small-town life in Australia in the early nineties.

At a time when most people were seeing Australians through the filter of Home and Away and Neighbours, Sarah's shows present a darker underbelly to the stereotype of the sun-loving, happy-go-lucky Aussie teenager.

Comedic and tragic in equal measure, Sarah's tales of her teenage life blend intricate narratives with a cast of memorable characters, bringing events to life in front of your very ears.

In the 2021 series - titled Talking Story - Sarah meets three different storytellers to discuss what 'story' means to them and talk about how they developed their own style of storytelling in their respective mediums.
