Description

Have you ever thought about writing for radio? Are you unsure if you’re on the correct wavelength?

Through direct teaching and small group work, this workshop will help you gain the skills required to make your writing radio friendly.

Your workshop leader is an expert in the field: Nick Warburton’s plays for radio include Conversations from the Engine Room (joint-winner of the BBC/Radio Times Drama Award), and his play Witness, an adaptation of Luke's gospel, won the Sandford St Martin Award for 2009.
 
To set the scene, Nick will guide you through radio drama's place in our cultural life. You’ll be listening to examples of radio plays, and will be looking at extracts from scripts to analyse how they've been put together.

Radio plays allow for some interesting additions compared to conventional writing. You’ll be considering various technical aspects of writing radio plays, creating the words, managing the sounds and building the ideas into plots.

It’s said that writing for radio is the first step to getting your scripts onto television. Judging by Nick’s biog, it’s true. His own television work has included scripts for Doctors, EastEnders, Born and Bred and Holby City. He’s also on the broadcasting committees for both The Writers' Guild of Great Britain and The Society of Authors.
