Crimea River
from Action Science Theatre · host Dan Bond
Pie charts. Not as fattening as the name suggests. They’ve been miscommunicating information for a long time now, and baffling people with their unnecessary 3D effects. Of course the reason we have them at all is down to the ‘lady with the lamp’. She was always working in the dark which explains the bright default colours used on charts in Excel. Regress with us now as if you’re in some fever dream, and experience the horrors of the Crimea war with a little bit of sauciness thrown in. And don’t come crying to us when you get trench foot. Florence Nightingale – Francesca Richards Anne Hatherley – Debs McKenna Ethel Lewisham – Anna Griffiths Dr Hiscox – Dan Booth Dr Bunting / Private Martin – Brian Mackenwells Corporal Talks / Clerk – Dan Bond Written by Dan Bond & Brian Mackenwells Produced by Dan Booth Some sound effects provided by Freesound.org
