![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a charming story about the blissfully gullible time of being children. Green visits their school house on Christmas Eve and surprises everyone, ‘even the old bachelors'. The voices of Sunshine Coast residents and old timers, Cynthia Culbard Jones and Diana Culbard Peters are combined in this short about their first Christmas in the 30s at Read Island – so far away that Santa would never find them. The introduction to the series itself begins this podcast, so please listen, even if it's summer outside! But here, she shares a short story from The Trouble of Christmas episodes, called Read Island Santa. Number six and trapped in her huge, devout family in 1963, desperate-for-attention Annie Shea creates a hilarious campaign of lies when the pope dies and their family friend, Cardinal Stefanucci, is unexpectedly on the short list to be elected the first American pope. Hicks will also share chapters from her novel," A Theory of Expanded Love". The series features a variety of first-person character stories in a number of episodes from her international theatrical touring shows: Mother Love, Next of Kin, The Trouble of Christmas, The Life We Lived. Storyteller Caitlin Hicks, (playwright, performer, author, actor) describes the stories in these podcasts that explore the grief of life as well as the meaning, the humour, the redemption. ![]()
