Snares

Available for over a year

A remote valley, echoing with birdsong. An expensive off-grid eco house, going to ruin. A wire fence garlanded with dead crows. And a visionary environmentalist, fast disappearing down a rabbit-hole of conspiracy theories. Following Skye's burnout, she and her partner Kezia hope to start a radical new life in the alternative eco community set up by Skye's friend Tobias. Tobias is an idealistic disruptor who has tried to find a more sustainable way to live. But is Tobias really the visionary environmentalist he claims to be? Snares by Clare Bayley is part of BBC Radio 4’s Breaking the Rules season and explores if the way you choose to live your life inevitably has an impact on those around you. It questions if rule-breaking is always brave or if imposing your views on others can be harmful.
