Fidget

By Ele Matelan

Mr Wilkins wants to sit back, relax, and gently recover from his double eye operation on

the calm yet vibrant hospital ward…and all goes like clockwork…until Nurse Tempe turns

up. This binaural realisation of this written for audio horror story, of a man who does

more than rub his sloughy eye (with encouragement from a psycho nurse) will have you

squirming in delight – if you like that kind of thing.

Recorded from the perspective of Mr Wilkins to give you that fully immersive feeling…

…when you have an itch…you gotta scratch…right?...

…In medical professionals we trust…

ELE MATELAN – As well as writing audio gems like this one, Ele is almost certainly one of the

best live foley creatives working in live audio today. Find her work, and pictures of her and

team in full live foley action on the Wildclaw Theatre website – and enter the Deathscribe

horror writing competition that happens yearly to share your unique brand of horror – if

you dare.

FIDGET was first submitted to the Dashingly Quirky Audio Drama Script Writing Competition

2019…and Sarah wanted to do it live but other judges thought it might be too….horrific to

do for a live show, where this level of horror was not expected…

I still think it should be done live…don’t you?
