Radio New Zealand's Drama Department commissions new writing and seeks to work with New Zealand’s best writers. Each year, up to 30 hours of new drama and comedy more than 200 readings (one-off short stories and serialised book readings), and over 50 new children's stories are produced.
This week, they launched a selection of those plays and readings available on line, so we asked them to share some they thought The Wireless audience might be interested in.
First up: You Me …Now! – 170 short episodes of an urban drama about Alice and her friends - their families, flatmates, loves, losses, music… and misunderstandings.
On An Island With Consequences Dire by Kelly Anne Morey – a multi-part reading with at least two murders.
and New Shorts – 20+ short plays from new writers.
