With A Little of Help from My Friends

Six Radio Plays Inspired by the Voices of Remarkable Women

Step back in time and listen closely — the stories of a generation come to life in With a Little Bit of Help from My Friends.

Directed by Pat Six and Helen Fainter-Leech, this heartfelt series of six radio plays is based on oral interviews with women in their 80s and 90s, capturing their memories, laughter, struggles, and wisdom.

Through honest storytelling and rich soundscapes, the production celebrates the resilience and warmth of women who have lived through change, challenge, and community. Their voices remind us of the strength found in friendship, the power of memory, and the joy of sharing a story over a cup of tea.

A beautiful tribute to the everyday heroes who built, loved, and shaped the world around them — told with care, humour, and a touch of nostalgia.
