Meet Iris.
Well-educated and with a philosopher’s outlook on life, she’s an everyday a lady of letters. And parcels. That’s because Iris is a postie, who hears and sees it all on her round, missing nothing and imagining everything that might be going on behind the doors she visits daily.
But when real issues closer to home threaten Iris’s idyllic take on life, it’s time for some big decisions.
You’ll meet Iris the free-spirited postie, the people behind the doors and her needy partner in this 10 minute play titled Iris, the second of eight in the audio play series, On the Street Where We Live.
This is a binaural recording so we recommend you use headphones for the best listening experience.
