BBC Radio Ulster - Storytellers, The Last Resort, Episode 2

A caravan park is beset by a series of impossible thefts. Written by Jan Carson.

A young man is convinced that his parents’ caravan is expanding and Anna worries that she’ll be stuck caring for her mother’s ancient dog forever.

A caravan-park on the Northern Irish coast is beset by a series of impossible thefts, forcing its disparate group of residents to come together to find their missing belongings.  However, in this uncanny place where static caravans teeter on an eroding cliff-edge overlooking the ocean, each holidaymaker soon finds themselves similarly wavering between certainty and doubt; one world and the next; the past and the present; and even reality and fantasy.
