Inspired by the history of the City of York’s coaching inns, INNovating is a three-part audio drama that evokes the sounds and stories of these vibrant places of hospitality for travellers in the 1820s, stopping off on their journey along the Great North Road.
Co-created by community researchers and actors, INNovating is written by Paul Birch and directed by Kate Valentine. The audio drama is a binaural experience, best listened to through headphones.
