"This show is a story, and it's a big story. But it actually starts in one of my therapy sessions..." In 1989, 13 and unpopular, Sarah misses the school bus. This prompts her to tell a lie and suddenly she finds herself the focal point of the entire community. This show is as much about the art of storytelling as it is about a teenager's want to be popular. Sarah examines why stories are so important to her and she leaves us with a message from Ferris Bueller: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and move around once in a while, you could miss it" Multi-award winning storyteller Sarah Kendall, continues her critically acclaimed trilogy of funny and moving, live shows to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio. Taking her audience on a trip, Sarah gives a unique snapshot of small-town life in Australia in the early 90s. At a time when most people were seeing Australians through the filter of 'ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and Away' and 'Neighbours', Sarah's shows present a darker underbelly to the stereotype of the sun-loving, happy-go-lucky Aussie teenager. Comedic and tragic in equal measure, Sarah's tales of her teenage life blend intricate narratives with a cast of memorable characters, bringing events to life in front of your very ears. Written and performed by Sarah Kendall. Producer: Carl Cooper A ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Studios Production for Radio 4, first broadcast in March 2017.
