BBC Radio 4 - Truth Be Told

Helen Zaltzman invites members of the public to tell true stories of escape.

Helen Zaltzman invites three members of the public to tell their extraordinary true story on the theme of escape.

Helen Zaltzman invites brave members of the public to take to the stage in front of a live audience to tell a true personal story of escape.

We hear three people fighting their way out of difficult situations - a late-night attack in a phone box, being swept out to sea by a strong current, and the unusual advances of a surgeon with a bladder fetish.

Funny, sometimes shocking and all true, these are remarkable tales of life-changing experiences.

Truth Be Told features stories first told at live storytelling nights across the UK including Spark London, The Moth and Natural Born Storytellers.
