’Don’t Open The Door’ - Unlocking the past

Buckle in for a ghost story, about a house that is possessed with the past and that tricks its inhabitants to let it in..

We're so excited to share some amazing new radio play stories from local creatives in Naarm (Melbourne).

Script Roulette is proudly supported by Arts Centre Melbourne and Ticketek as a part of PLAY.

This episode we hear an original ghost story, that plays on our understanding of possession and how a place's history impacts our view of the present.
