Radio Days
We've got some new entries in the Script Archive.
This time we thought we'd bring you some radio plays.
- Smooth Apparatus by Laura Wade is a short play that tells the story of the morning after the night before.
- Goal Difference, an acerbic commentary on the state of modern relationships by Andrew Viner, was commissioned from the Sports Shorts writing competition.
- Porshia, by Ed Harris, tells the story of a lovestruck office worker who wakes in the body of his would-be amour. It was chosen by The Guardian as a Pick of the Day, and lauded by the Radio Times as "unquestionably drama of the week".
- The Incomplete Recorded Works Of A Dead Body by Ed Hime is a full-length play exploring the nature of art, sound, decay, aspiration, and loneliness. It has been nominated for the Prix Italia for best original radio drama.
As usual, you may need to download Acrobat Reader to read the scripts if you don't have it already.

Thanks Piers! Loved reading the Laura Wade play.
Thanks for all those radio plays, really helpful for a newbie radio writer like me!
One question though - I'm wanting to email off my Royal Tapes entry and I notice on the "small print" section of the Radio 5 Live site that it says "your entry, CV and cover letter..."
Is it mandatory to include a CV with an email entry? If not, is it advisable to include this? If you let me know ASAP I would appreciate it...
Many thanks, Lucy
Lucy, I wondered the same thing, and decided to put a little blurb about myself in the body of the email. I don't think they wanted more than that.
