The Visitor
Project Overview
No one knew they lived there on the island. So who knocked during the storm?
Check out one of our past audiodramas to get a feel on what this one will be like! This episode will be the seventeenth episode in the anthology.

Male, adult
Hugh lives on a remote island with his wife Lara. They both get along really well.
He has a sweet and silly personality. Always trying to make Lara happy and safe, and that's part of the reason why he ultimately suggested moving to the island. He's a handyman and gets things done, but when something suspicious arises his guard is up.

(up to interpretation) Okay. Confession time. I might’ve added a little too much nutmeg.
(light strained chuckle) You must be mistaking us for someone else.
(defensive) Yours? No. This cabin belonged to her uncle. He left it to us. There’s no record of anyone else who ever owned or lived here–
Female, adult
Lara can sound dreadful at times but at heart she cares very deeply about things. She loves messing around with her husband Hugh, and they both live on a remote island away from society.
She's sarcastic and curious. But when things begin to get repetitive, she gets frustrated, and we can hear that in her voice.
- female adult
(playful dread) Ugh c'mon Hugh just hurry up with it. It shouldn’t even take you two hours to prep a muffin batch.
That’s not the wind. No one’s supposed to be here.
(getting frustrated) No, no, I don’t know who you are. (sigh) Can we talk about this tomorrow? I think I’ve had enough for one night.
Male, adult, preferable British accent but not required
The visitor is the man who randomly shows up to the island cottage during a heavy storm. He is a mysterious figure both physically and in terms of what he wants. But there is just something about him that makes you want to get to know him more. He is very knowledgeable about things around the island.
The visitor has a very calm demeanor, and it is clearly evident in his voice. He talks a little slowly, but still casually.
- male adult
(in the rain) Now may I come in? It’s getting pretty chilly out here.
Fair enough. (beat, takes a deep breath) I know this house. I know the layout. The chipped tile in the kitchen, the stain on the ceiling from the leak that never got fixed. I know that bright yellow swing that used to hang from that old pine outside, the one that snapped two summers ago.
You always turn the kettle on when you’re nervous. You’re doing it now.
Any gender, teens
