About this listen

Written by British playwright and actor Charlie Josephine, Massive is a queer love story that is pulsing with urgency and unapologetically poetic.

Emily’s life changes after a terrible car accident when a magnetic stranger, Jax, steps in to take her hand. Their serendipitous union empowers Emily to finally feel comfortable in her own skin, but when the couple’s relationship veers off course, Emily is drawn into a web of obsession and lies.

This audio play features immersive audio techniques; to maximize the listening experience, headphones are recommended (but not required!). Please note this audiobook contains strong language and adult themes. Discretion is advised.

Playwright Charlie Josephine was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible commissioned playwright, they received funding and creative support to develop Massive.

Some really beautiful moments in this, it felt very real and honest. I loved the complex characters, playful and clever use of language and the way Charlie Josephine explores gender, sexuality and the obsession with perfection.

Intense and poetic!

Loved this so much - the first 20mins felt like Charlie had opened my bisexual brain and was writing about how I felt falling in love with my partner (also they/them). It was beautifully written and whilst the progression of the story became pretty painful it was still a gripping listen with fantastic performances.

A brilliant and moving piece

This play is perfect! Narrators played their parts really well. The characters are complex. The story is intense. I like how it doesn't let you hear the actual self-harming process. I highly recommend it. Definitely worth a listen.

Excellent in all levels

I liked the originality; it’s unlike anything I’ve heard in the mainstream world since leaving school 15years ago. It’s was quirky. It was a bit like something my 6th form drama group would put together. The story itself wasn’t the best bit for me but I thought the words and rhythm of the writing were very well done.

This was a gripping and beautiful and complex story that took me by surprise and kept me hooked to the last second. I loved the exploration of gender, sexuality and desire. Stunning, deep performances from all actors.
