Where's my house

We're excited to be supporting the development of a new play created by the director Jane Fallowfield and the playwright Frazer Flintham.

Where's My House is being made with four young people from ICT and four from Stoke's New Vic Theatre.  It explores the proposal last year of a London Council to move 500 of its most disadvantaged residents to cheaper council housing in Stoke.

The cast, which includes Christelle Belinga, Aidan Robertson, Talitha Lewis and Josh Timson from ICT, will be performing a showing of the work in Stoke and at Platform in Islington on 23rd February at 2pm.

Making Radio Plays with the BBC

Here are five short radio plays that Speakeasy members created with BBC Radio 4 Producers Jeremy Mortimer, Lucy Collingwood and Helen Perry on Saturday.

We spent a day with the three producers at Platform in Islington, exploring what it means to create drama through sound, voice, music and silence.  In the afternoon we sent the 20 young people aged 13-18 off with their own recording hardware to create their own pieces based on the first line "I've got to tell you something".

It was a brilliant day and a wonderful introduction to writing for radio.
