There’s always been a concern that you shouldn’t write your audio drama with just “talking heads”. The concept suggesting that characters need to be active to be effective in an audio story.
I’m not sure that’s entirely true. While we love action, we can think of some really effective stories that don’t need a lot of change of settings or violence or even massive change ups of characters.
My Dinner with Andre is a good example as is Jerome Bixby’s The Man from Earth. or the classic 12 Angry Men by television pioneer and dramatist Reginald Rose which has been recently re-enacted by Narada Radio Theatre and Society member in good standing Pete Lutz.
As a writer make a good story. Whether its Sherlock Holmes in the study explaining the crime to Watson or Percy Atherton and the Maudelayne team breaking up ancient deities’ poke matches, the beginning and ending point is always good story and great characters.
David Farquhar brings us our season ten finale episode with Voices in the Wind’s “Good Things Come” with Jordan Harbour from the Twilight Histories Podcastguest introducing the epic conclusion to the Videk with Jack Ward, David Ault and special guest John Bell fromBell`’s in the Batfry.
A group of Norwich folk who call themselves the Ashby Court Entertainers amateur dramatics group, have worked to raise awareness about domestic violence by producing a new radio drama entitled “Ruby Wedding”. One of the great values of the intimacy of audio is that it can really connect with listeners on a whole range of issues and concerns.
One of the great benefits of audio is how little it takes (comparatively) to get a project off the ground and into the hands of your audience. Well done, Norwich!
