Mort Safe - A New Audio Drama

[ID: A semi-realistic drawing of a hand, in the palm of which sits a lit candle. It’s flame illuminates the darkness around it, but the wax is dripping down onto the hand, and slowly turns red as it seeps down the wrist, mimicking veins. Above it is written in curling brassy letters, “Mort Safe”]

Ethics, Edinburgh, Exhumation. 1829. 

Mort Safe is a new, ten episode audio drama coming in 2023, created by Oran Talbot and Sam Drake. 

Edinburgh. 1829. The medical curiosity of the western world has taken hold of the city, with doctors-to-be travelling from as far as America to study at the prestigious university. However, budding young surgeons can be impatient, and with the Anatomy Act still a few years off, the medical schools are only granted one body per year on which to conduct their studies. Enter Cillian Hayes, an ambitious student with lofty expectations, Adelaide Farris, a young woman finding herself at the helm of her deceased father’s candle making business, and Jules Green, the unfortunate soul who seems to have found themself at the wrong end of the gravedigger’s shovel. Mort Safe is a show about how far we’ll go to achieve our goals, and the culture we build around death.
