Podcasts about wireless theatre company

I've written a lot of things over the years, many dramas for the BBC and Wireless Theatre Company, a smattering for Big Finish, and now a whole decades' worth of epic productions for Audible, many of them performed by some of the famous people imaginable - no nonsense movie stars, indeed. But still, such is the nature of my career and my body of work, the piece that means most to me is the one that's found least of an audience. This is my novel Dances Sacred & Profane, my most personal work, which I tentatively published on Kindle but never did much to publicize, most of all because it was so personal, a deeper revelation of the person and the artist that I am, and the more of an audience I drew to it, the more I feared some callous online remark, or cluster of such, that would wound me deeply: in many ways DSP is as personal as a diary - of myself at a certain crucial moment in my life, certainly. But that moment is past and so now I feel the confidence to perform the story myself here and see if it doesn't find a wider audience. It's an unusual story, seeking the more unusual listener: though it's a kind of sequel to a classic vampire story (I won't say which at this stage, as it would give too much away), it's essentially sui generis, by no means a fangs-and-coffin blood-and-thunder shocker, having strong elements of historical novel and romance and plays freely back and forth between these generic levels in a non-generic way. Here's chapter one (this is going to take some time), but if you want to read the whole thing in one go, here's a link to the book itself -https://www.amazon.co.uk/DANCES-SACRED-PROFANE-Gothic-Romance-ebook/dp/B00858QERM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=618EPBGMNR0B&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sWZuRZQE4S13Q2JvUdAfhg.T8Q93Ja8uUlMxuz2WAUEHKXAMAIbJsQ-xHantlcPOyc&dib_tag=se&keywords=dances+sacred+and+profane+marty+ross&qid=1746793289&s=digital-text&sprefix=dances+sacred+and+profane+marty+ross%2Cdigital-text%2C67&sr=1-1Also, make allowances for my voice - the narrating character is female and should ideally be performed by a female actor, but I couldn't ask such an actor to make the kind of long term unpaid commitment this is going to require, so please make imginative allowances.

May is a provocatively, spirited month of the year. It started with the fires of Beltain, budding trees, blooming flowers, and Mother's Day. In the middle of the month, the Blood Moon will cast the sky into an eerie glow as a total lunar eclipse. The Flower Moon will rise near the end of the month, reminding us all that growth stems from transformation. It is a metamorphic month of mothers and moons. So with that in mind, we are delighted to bring you two stories this month, Windover and Hide.   Windover comes to us from the Wireless Theatre Company. It is a supernatural story set on the wild Atlantic coast of North Devon. This ethereal ghost story follows a young woman named Jenny who is on the brink of some major life changes. Jenny is troubled by spectral visions of the past and an unresolved tragedy. The story includes the voice talent of Beth Eyre who has also appeared in two 11th Hour Challenge productions - Ivory Tower and The Radcliffe Square Labrinyth.   An atmospheric ghost story set on the wild Atlantic coast of North Devon, told through the eyes of Jenny, a girl of nearly nineteen, whose recently deceased grandmother, Mary, has bequeathed her ‘Windover,' the cottage where she is staying with her father and his girlfriend during the summer vacation. Before long Jenny starts to be troubled by visions of two teenage girls, and learns, from a photograph taken in 1934, that these girls are her grandmother, Mary and her friend Cathy. As the days go by and Jenny becomes increasingly disturbed by the visions, she befriends Stephen, a neighbouring farmer and tries to enlist his help in making sense of what's happening to her. Stephen, however, is evasive and little by little Jenny finds herself drawn into the tragic events that occurred nearly eighty years earlier. Starring - Emma Kelly, Sean Baker, Richard Holt, Colleen Prendergast, Beth Eyre, Amy Raine Jackson, Richard Reed and Pamela Binns Written by Brita Bradbury, Directed by Cherry Cookson, Edited by Malcolm Thorp, Produced by Mariele Runacre Temple Hide is a special Mother's Day treat for all those tired mums out there. This short fright will remind you that sometimes there is something under the bed and we still don't want to know about it. The story comes to us from Quirky Voices Presents and Sarah Golding. Sarah has been an 11th Hour Challenge participant from the beginning and has been a part of 13 different productions including - The Hidden Truths, Castle of Horror, and Fidget.     Created by Sarah Golding of Quirky Voices Presents A short horror story full of tension and ....horror. Tom, a young boy cannot get to sleep - he hears something...someone breathing in his bedroom late at night. His mum, trying to get her work done tries to comfort him.

Atmospheric; a well-structured story with believable characters.” This reflects the range of drama available here at the Wireless Theatre Company – engaging, well-produced and finely recorded to give the experience of the drama rather more than the average radio plays found on the internet.Johnnie99 A memorably haunting production very much in the style of a traditional ghost story, with some thought given to the psychology of the characters. Some of the scenes I still remember about six months on from first listening, which is a sign of a strong production.Richard

“For me, practice has always been important, as a way of understanding something, you know. It’s all very well reading about it, and listening to it, but actually, when we put things on their feet, looking at these old scripts, and saying “okay lets get a group of actors and musicians together and lets see if we can make it work” – it really does open things up.” Richard HandRichard Hand (The Radio Drama Handbook, Listen in terror: British Horror Radio from the Advent of Broadcasting to the Digital Age) joins us on the show to talk all things audio drama. From teaching and learning, to the rise of the independent producer and a new generation of audio dramatists.
