Hi everyone!
Today I’m going to talk about Hardcastle’s Havoc and Hell! Hardcastle’s Havoc is the very first audio drama that EraScapes ever created. And when I say EraScapes, I really mean Leo Cosh, who wrote, directed and edited the original version of Hardcastle’s Havoc.
Hardcastle’s Havoc is a story of a disenfranchised individual who has been removed after being CEO of one of the largest companies in the Consortium. He is upset and angry about this situation and intends to wreak his revenge on those who got rid of him.
He chooses to hire a an assassin in order to eliminate one specific individual and reveal the truth: that he was removed without cause.
Unfortunately for him, the assassin does not do what he expects…
This tight little story was written by Leo, and I gave some advice on improving it at the time. It more or less stood as it was until about a year ago, when Leo and I decided that we would like to both update Hardcastle’s Havoc with the skills that we’ve learned over time, and secondly, work on a sequel to it which we named Hardcastle’s Hell.
Thanks to my progression in writing skill over the last 12 years, I have come up with a kind of story that is a little different: it’s one introduction with five possible endings to the story.
Obviously, only one of them is canon, but it’s a lot of fun to bring such a number of possibilities to life.
Hardcastle’s Havoc and Hell have already been recorded with some amazing voice actors and are now in an editing run with the first few scenes complete.
I’m excited to bring these audio dramas to you when they’re ready, and I don’t think it’ll be too long now.
