A Silver Lighter from 1944, in a London Workshop | Bedtime Audio Drama

from The Porch Light · host Porch Light Studios

A quiet 1990s London bedtime drama for a long autumn night. In October 1993, the rain over Spitalfields has not stopped since the last week of September. James Reed, a fifty-six-year-old leatherworker on a side street off Brick Lane, has begun, very quietly, to close his workshop door for good. Then a young woman in a soaked transparent poncho knocks at nine forty-seven in the evening, holding a folder he has not asked for. Settle in, dim the lamps, and let this story keep you company.Featured voices: James Reed, Ella Whitfield, Edmund Hollister, Mrs Patel, Daniel Reed, and Walter Reed in memory. London 1993, with a soft Suffolk flashback to 1949.Watch the full visual story with cinematic images and original music on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePorchLight-PLSFollow The Porch Light on your favorite podcast app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or YouTube Music, so you never miss a story.Made with AI assistance for narration, music, and sound design.
