I have now submitted my short script ‘Two Minute Warning’ to the BBC Wiltshire Ten Tiny Plays about Wiltshire competition.
The brief was to write a radio play – maximum 2 minutes in length, a maximum of 2 voices, set at any time, at any place provided it was in Wiltshire. Ten plays will be chosen and recorded in conjunction with Swindon’s Prime Theatre. The plays will be broadcast as part of the Swindon Spring Festival.
It took me a while to come up with an idea, but after reading an article about Dr Who I worked out a neat little story about Time Travel. I originally planned to set it in an exotic bit of Wiltshire, but in the end I chose Swindon station. However mysterious Avebury might be to visit, it doesn’t sound any different from any other part of the English countryside.
