Cook up a spell for Old Mother Redbeard

Created and performed by Murray Lachlan Young with music by by Paul Hartnoll (Orbital), The Chronicles of Atom and Luna were created in 2020. 

Six audio tales take us into the depths of the forest to prepare us for the brave journey our heroes, Atom and Luna, must take.  Atom and Luna were left home alone by their mother but saved by the arrival of their magical child minder, Iffly Sney.  When Iffly falls terribly ill and needs help, the twins seek out the mysterious Old Mother Redbeard.   (Quest for Old Mother Redbeard is an interactive story game using augmented reality).
