Radio is hungry for new talent. Over 50 writers make their debut each year on British radio. This course is about the freedom and discipline of writing radio drama, about creating characters in sound, scene setting, narrative and dialogue. The course will also consider the practicalities of the writing life.

Tutors:

Marilyn Imrie has worked in radio, television and theatre for over 30 years as producer and drama director for BBC and ITV, among others. Her radio series include Rumpole and The Gobetweenies.

Colin MacDonald has written 15 plays for BBC Radio 4 and Radio Scotland, including The Whole of the Moon, Hill of Rains and Killing the Butterfly.

There are daily workshops over four days running from Tuesday to Friday, and a one-to-one tutorial with each tutor too.
