When there is no place but the water, where do you go?
‘No Place but the Water’ is a speculative magic-realist cli-fi drama podcast series that begins at an abandoned hotel at the end of the world. But the hotel has a secret. Told through the eyes of three kids - Birdie, Jessie and Cal - they set out on a journey that will change everything. But the hotel itself seems to be alive, sometimes offering its secrets but also stalking the family with its mirrors, secret places and shadows of what happened in the past. Ultimately they will discover that the hotel and the world beyond it, hold not only tragedy but hope for a new kind of life.
Directed by Nadia Molinari.
Sound Design by Steve Brooke & Sharon Hughes.
'Drawing on the magic-realism of Gabriel García Márquez and the horror of Stephen King;the hotel itself has a strange hold on the occupants,extolling visions from the past like a climate-conscious version of The Shining’s Overlook. An intelligent drama with heart.'
Radio Times
'Marshall Griffiths' encapsulates all that is good and bad in people, returning the listener to Auden’s poetic words, but with a caveat: to love the Earth too.'
