The Home Group is a glamorous collection of celebrity members' clubs dotted across the globe, where the rich and famous can party hard and then crash out in its five-star suites, far from the prying eyes of fans and the media. The most spectacular of all is Island Home - a closely guarded, ultra-luxurious resort, just off the English coast - and its three-day launch party is easily the most coveted A-list invite of the decade. But behind the scenes, tensions are at breaking point...and all of them have something to hide.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

But he’s using that money to fund his research that he anticipates will be able to cure diabetes. So, all for a good cause...? You decide. Of course, it's hell on his social life.

Too foul and Too fast, with the accents and them talking on top of each other, it makes it difficult to figure out what they are talking about.
The swearing is the most disturbing and distracting as it is boringly repetitious.

An Intense and Self-Destructive Love Story
In Massive, Charlie Josephine delivers an intensely burning, dramatic, and raw love story that launches seconds after you click the play button and doesn't let up. The description said to experience with headphones (I do this anyway) and I'd certainly encourage any listeners to do so. There's a lot to take in and you don't want to miss a thing.
During the time I'd set aside to listen, I lay back with my eyes closed and earbuds in to take all of this in, and I could picture it. Sometimes as being played out on the stage of a theatre, other times as if I was right there in the room with them. Did you ever see a play where there are just the characters on a dark stage, and only they are lit as it's their part? That's how I imagined this... but that's a little digression.
The relationship between Emily and Jax kicks into high gear virtually from the moment Jax helps Emily cling to life after a traffic accident. Their love for each other is incandescent, burning not just twice as bright but more so. But of course, burning brighter ultimately means the candle will burn out quicker.
The self-destructive behaviours, the attempting to press on through and carry on as normal, the co-dependence and almost total reliance on each other for their emotional wellbeing. What came was a visceral trip through a mind as it slowly shattered into a million pieces.
Sophie Melville, the voice of Emily, was amazing. Seriously outstanding. I wanted to hear so much more, her voice was captivating and transporting. Sophie is one of those rare people who could narrate the phonebook and I'd listen to every word of it.
Erin Doherty who played the cockney Jax ran a very close second in my opinion, the intensity to which Erin delivered Jax's love and torment blended flawlessly with Melville's. Nima Taleghani as Tom delivered a solid if somewhat more muted, performance. Perhaps I was too busy rooting for Emily and Jax to make it by the time Tom appeared to like him as much, so I may be biased!
It shows the raw, messy, imperfect side of intense love, and I enjoyed every second of this.

best performance I've ever heard!!
Look, I'll say it: the content of this book isn't for everyone. Some people aren't ready to accept that LOVE moves across EVERY boundary: skin color, gender, nationality, religion... love conquers all! This is a story about that love. But it's MORE than just that: there's the messy circumstances, internal struggle, awful indecision and insecurity. There's compromise and lies and apologies and self-blame... it's love and life!
AND THE PERFORMANCE!! If this comes to a stage near me, I'm buying tickets for everyone I know. Give this a REAL LISTEN, not just "cutting the grass" type of listen; you'll thank me later. BRAVO TO THESE PERFORMERS! STANDING OVATION!!

Outstanding audio book production!!
This audio book shows how much more can be done in the format. There's no way the story could convey the deep emotions the characters have if you were reading it. Erin Doherty, Sophie Melville, & Nima Taleghani were absolutely amazing!! I'm hard pressed to ever remember such outstanding audio performances. I'm sure much credit is due to Charlie Josephine for the way they interact & overlap each other's voices but the actors were just incredible. I've already been online trying to find more of all their work and eagerly await anything they do next. Well done to all of them!!!

Astounding writing and performances
I cannot recommend this audio play highly enough. It is refreshing to listen to a queer story that is so nuanced: beautiful, angry, messy, erotic. Charlie Josephine’s writing is visceral and, at times, brutal, and all three actors give outstanding performances. I particularly enjoyed Sophie Melville as Em, who I’ve listened to previously in Iphigenia in Splott. The rhythm that she brings in her delivery showcases the poetic magic of Charlie’s writing. Will be listening again!

Just incredible
Have you ever seen a film without words? That communicates only through the medium of light, and bodies, and motion. This is just like that, but in audio. The most vivid images, communicated only with layers of breath, voice, and intense sound design. I didn’t realise how much I missed radio plays.
This is a queer story about communication and mental health. About how we contort ourselves around what we think others expect, and how that breaks us. To get the most from this, you need headphones or a good sound system. You need to meet the heart of this story below its possibly clichéd surface. It won’t tie up all its loose ends or answer all its questions. Like the best theatre, it tears opens its own chest to help you see inside your own.
It does contain intense content around anxiety and self-harm. Be safe 💚

I liked the originality; it’s unlike anything I’ve heard in the mainstream world since leaving school 15years ago. It’s was quirky. It was a bit like something my 6th form drama group would put together. The story itself wasn’t the best bit for me but I thought the words and rhythm of the writing were very well done.

Contemporary themes. Cleverly written.
Performed really well, especially enjoyed it's fast pace and the actors voices especially Jack's.
