The Maverick Theatre Company has always been about access to the arts. And now we're looking to create access for new writers keen to work in radio.
With the help of London arts radio station Resonance 104.4fm, The London Literary Pub Crawl and OPEN Ealing, we launched a competition to find a new radio drama or comedy to be recorded and broadcast on Resonance 104.4fm and the London Literary Pub Crawl website.
Four writers were chosen to have 10 minutes extracts of their scripts read in public by professional actors in Ealing, London, on Saturday 14th January. After the readings, there was an open discussion with the audience, actors, director and the writers.
The evening was recorded and broadcast over 2 weekson the Resonance 104.4 fm radio show, Literary London (Fridays 7pm - 8pm, repeated Weds 7am - 8am) and listeners invited to vote for their favourite play or comedy.
The winning entry will be professionally recorded and then broadcast in its entirety on Resonance 104.4FM and hosted on the London Literary Pub Crawl website. All four shortlisted plays will be published in play form in a book after the event.
