    Description

    An experimental audio work written and directed by Maria Fusco, composed by Olivier Pasquet and voiced by Maxine Peake. It reveals the pains, desires and routines of 18th-century maid servants, drawing from extensive archival research and 3D sound scans of historical objects. ‘Mollspeak’ is an eighteenth-century phrase employers coined to mock their servants' dialectical speech. Originally commissioned as an eleven-channel installation work by Sinead McCarthy at Museum of the Home, this is a new broadcast composition, funded by The Elephant Trust.
