Happy Holidays, Fictional Cafe listeners! To celebrate this special time of year, we’re thrilled to present a feature-length, full-cast audio drama: Rescuing Ravenstocke. This captivating story masterfully weaves romance, mystery, and speculative fiction into an unforgettable experience.
It all begins with artist and designer Ava, who agrees to house-sit for her friend George in his eclectic London apartment. Amid his intriguing collection of vintage TVs and radios, one peculiar item stands out: the Ravenstocke Transopticator—a stunning, mysterious device from the 1930s with a distinct Dieselpunk flair.
Drawn in by its intricate design and enigmatic aura, Ava becomes fascinated with the tragic story of its inventor, a young prodigy whose life was cut short under mysterious circumstances. Her curiosity about the device and its creator soon takes on a life of its own, leading Ava on an unexpected and magical journey. As she delves deeper into the Transopticator’s secrets, she discovers its astonishing power: the ability to traverse time.
What follows is a gripping and emotional time-travel romance as Ava becomes entangled in the life of the inventor, forging a connection that transcends decades. Her journey is not just one of discovery but of love, loss, and the possibility of rewriting fate. With lush sound design, a talented cast, and a rich narrative that weaves together the nostalgia of Dieselpunk aesthetics and the timeless pull of a love story, Rescuing Ravenstocke is perfect for anyone looking for a romantic tale with a twist.
