Written by Michelle Tocher and directed by Nicole Arends, with sound and music by Phil Strong, The Departure Train is an 85-minute audio drama that offers comfort and inspires us to reflect on our lives and our most meaningful legacies.
The Tower Princess
Storyteller Michelle Tocher plunges into the heart of fairy tales on a quest to reclaim the lost archetype of the true princess. In the mid-1990s when she was struggling with chronic pain, Michelle discovered a feminine wisdom in fairy tales that ignited her imagination and altered her relationship with suffering. In this wise, humorous, and poignant memoir, the author seamlessly amalgamates her life and fairy tales, and shows us what we have lost by banishing the fairy world.
In the audiobook, Michelle gives a theatrical performance with a lively reading. Audiobook producer Mark Shipman said, “Your book is one of the best books I’ve worked on. The story is deeply personal and astoundingly universal at the same time. Your vocal modulation, characterizations, pacing, and rhythm make for a wonderful and profoundly engaging experience.”
