The Martians... and Radio Drama are coming to Surrey

As Britain is searching for talent, Eagle Radio and new entertainment venue G Live are breathing fresh life into radio drama. This February half term, Eagle Radio and partner's G Live are running an accredited course for 13 - 16 year olds in Surrey and North Hampshire to create an original radio drama based on H. G Wells War of the Worlds.

Historically the domain of the BBC, this project introduces a new, young audience to the powerfully creative world of radio drama.  Working with theatre practitioners and radio producers they will learn how to perform, create sound effects and produce a feature length drama.

Both Eagle Radio and G Live are investing in media and creative arts constructing exciting and engaging projects for young people. Over the 6 days February half term the cohort will be working towards a level 1 (GCSE) Arts Award qualification from Eagle Radio.Find out more at www.artsaward.co.uk Jo Wright, Creative Learning Manager at G Live says:

'It's amazing to be able to offer such an exciting opportunity for young people in Surrey; working with Eagle gives G Live the opportunity to create work that would never be created in any other circumstances (and vice versa). Bringing our theatre skills to something so innovative is a real thrill and I'm sure we'll learn as much as the young people'
