Ballad of the Fermyn

Tune in at 9pm for the Ballad of the Fermyn by SUBTERRA.

In this experimental radio play we are presented with an eccentric cast of characters living within an ever disenchanted and hostile landscape made up of old mines, towering blast furnaces, an inexplicable blackness which seems to spread insidiously, and a strange red substance that emanates from the earth.

The veil is thin in this world… Perhaps you best enter the Inn of Ill Omen, order a nice frothy pint and rest your aching soul by the hearth. In the dim light an open hand reveals a blood red ironstone, an amulet that will reveal the way to “that place”… or so the story goes.

SUBTERRA is a collaboration between Astrid Björklund and Marie-Chantal Hamrock that explores the underworld through art and narrative.
