WELCOME

To our UK radio drama project.

THE RADIO PLAYS

DREAM REALITY RADIO DRAMA

DURING 2021 WE PUT OUR SECOND CALL OUT TO
WRITERS AND ASKED THEM TO SEND US THEIR WORK.

“Do you have an idea for a radio play? Dream Reality Radio Drama is offering 8 writers new to radio the chance to have their work aired. Selected writers will receive training and workshops over a 6 month period.


The period far exceeded 6 months, the pandemic saw to that, but after a great deal of effort due to some incredible creatives the work was finally and brilliantly produced.


Send a 1 page drama or documentary outline of something you would like to write for radio and a sample of your work, maximum of 3 pages to us.”

The time spent training and in workshops will be documented here as the project progresses, so follow us on Twitter.

By late 2022 we completed the recording of some great new work.

MEET THE WRITERS

The selected writers are receiving training and taking part in interactive workshops over a 6 month period, with pieces of work to follow shortly, so keep on eye on our social networks.
