The Radio Drama Verb
Ian McMillan celebrates 100 years of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio drama with some brand new commissions.
Ian McMillan celebrates 100 years of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Drama with brand new commissions - from writers Alex Riddle, Georgia Affonso. Tim Barrow, and the poet Michael Symmons Roberts. This is a homage to what Ian describes as a form which feels 'as new as cinema and as old as a whispered story in a dark cave in winter', with tales of mysterious islands and time travel, the intimacy of the optometrist's gaze, and the power of friendship. Michael Symmons Roberts's poem is a commission for our 'Something Old, Something New' series, and evokes a frozen Atlantic - its sound and its shiver.
