Tales From The Other Place

Drama, Fiction, Science Fiction

A series of standalone dramas from three fresh British writers. Each episode drops one impossible thing into an everyday life — a technology that probably shouldn't exist, a visitor who probably shouldn't be here, a door that definitely wasn't there yesterday — and listens closely to what it exposes about the human condition. The strange element is never the point; it's the pressure that forces a choice nobody is ready to make. Closer to The Twilight Zone than Black Mirror, this is speculative fiction about recognisable people behaving questionably under impossible circumstances.
