I’m running a little behind on these (too busy making new plays!) – but on the 14th of June we released our production of Voices by Hortense Flexner: this is my analysis of the play, our production, and what we learned from our visit with the spirit of Joan of Arc.
Hortense Flexner King (1885-1973) was an American poet, playwright and professor (thus spake Wikipedia). She was a brilliant mind, a fine writer, and a feminist – so naturally I wanted to include a piece of her work. But, well, Voices isn’t her best. So why the heck did I choose it?
Want free radio plays via facebook? Our facebook page is useful because it helps us gather everything together in one group of easily clickable images, both video and oral content. It’s also a great way to find new listeners.
So, first of all make sure you have liked and followed our facebook page. All that means is we’ll pop up on your feed occasionally. I promise we’re 100% less annoying than all the car adverts or whatever Facebook’s stupid algorithm has decided you want to buy (I don’t drive, but I get a lot of car ads.) It’s an easy way to get reminded when we have new plays, calls for actors/writers, or have found some new interesting adventure to do.
Now you’re following us, scroll down the page and click like on a bunch of stuff. If you make us look popular then people who don’t know us are more likely to try us out. The more people who listen, the more plays we can make!
If you have a moment, then please find a recent post that you like and share it with your followers,
with an explanation of what it is and why you shared it. The best ones to share are the embeds – either the audio tracks from soundcloud or the video tracks from Youtube or Vimeo (because the people you share them with can just click on the button and hear the play).
Finally, if you’ve got an idea of who we are now and have time to write three to five sentences on it, click “reviews” (see the left hand side of the first picture) and leave a review of Little Wonder Radio Plays. Useful reviews say what something is, what it is like, and who might enjoy it. There’s nothing more depressing than a site that has no reviews!
No, don’t ask me what the OMGDCUYOY means – but the excellent Radio Charades was back last month, with some brilliant stuff from Toby Frost about how it feels to be a novelist writing his first radio play. Also something called the “DC Universe”, which I think involves men in tights comparing their mother issues.
OK, enough faking, yes, I saw Batman vs Superman, and yes, I think Ben Affleck is the best Batman since Michael Keaton [screw you Dark Knight fans]. But read on, to see how you can find our more from a successful novelist about the transition to radio.
Please give me 5 minutes of your time to help Little Wonder grow!
Little Wonder Radio Plays, our full cast audio drama company, needs your help to grow! Take 5 minutes, boot up your social media brain (ie. click, click, swipe, drool), and help a baby business become a toddler business 😊.
This post is in two parts. The first part will take less than 5 minutes and will help us by networking your social media accounts with ours – raising our profile and making sure you can keep up with all our latest adventures. If you already have social media accounts, you only need part (a) – and in 300 seconds time you’ll be back to watching cat videos and I’ll be very grateful.
The second part is only there for those of you who don’t have social media accounts but would still like to help. I explain the different formats and give you directions on how to get started. This will take you a little more than 5 minutes but will also bring you into the 21st century. Welcome! We have cake!
Little Wonder Radio Plays presents its fourth production: Outside, bunker sci-fi horror from, erm, me. Check it out via Soundcloud and YouTube, think “hey, whoever did the SFX was awesome”, and then read on while I talk about what I think of this play. As the eijit who wrote it.
