Secrets...

For those working in The Filter Room during the Second World War, secrets had to be kept.  Helen was one of those people, and for 70 years she kept her secret.  But as her family gathers around her bedside during the Covid 19 pandemic, secrets are about to be revealed.

What was The Filter Room? Who was Helen's husband? Who is the mysterious new patient in the room next door?

Richard Hearn's moving story of bravery during WW2 and a family learning that their history may not be what they thought, is brought to life in this full cast audio production, by White Cobra.
