Couplands iconic novels brought to life in two fullcast adaptations

Bursting onto the literary scene in 1991 with his debut Generation X Douglas Couplands novels swiftly established themselves as modern classics and brought the term Gen X into the mainstream His work still has resonance in todays world with his vivid explorations of identity and creativity in the postBaby Boomer generations These pitch perfect adaptions probe our modern popular culture with the authors signature wry twists and unsettling revelations

In this brand new adaptation by Theo ToksvigStewart Douglas Couplands brilliantly funny novel Microserfs takes a microscope to working culture in the early days of the tech boom Dan is a Microsoft employee in desperate need of a life His world can be summed up as eat sleep code repeat and hes not quite feeling himself So when the chance comes along for him and his friends to leave Microsoft to form a Silicon Valley startup called OOP will they take the risk and leap into the unknown In an unflinching and hilarious story Dan and the other Microserfs try to find purpose love and identity in the real world

Perhaps one of Couplands most iconic novels Girlfriend in a Coma begins in December 1979 when 17yearold Karen unexpectedly falls into a deep coma after a teen house party Frighteningly shed predicted the end of the world in a letter sent to her boyfriend before she collapsed Fifteen years later Karen wakes up The world in 1997 is a very different and confusing place Her friends have grown up and their reality bears little resemblance to the hopes and dreams they shared in their youth There are questions that need to be answered time is running out and Karen must act

Available as a double bill for the first time these stunning adaptations are a fantastic listen Performed by a full cast with production by Sony awardwinning producer Dan Rebellato these stories make for a stellar audio experience not to be missed
