The KDA is holding another Radio Play Festival this year. We entered last year and enjoyed success with ‘The Trojan Women’. If any one fancies directing a radio play (maximum length 60 minutes) please contact Pauline Armour for details: armourgg18@gmail.com Entries must be in by 31 August and the finalised radio play must be submitted by October 31. If you are keen to lead a project of this type please consider what you might direct as performing rights will need […]
We were delighted to recieve an email from Lee Blessing, author of the above play:- Dear Nikki Packham, Many thanks for your lovely email. I’m delighted you’re doing my play in Bromley, and I’m very happy to hear you performed Dorothea. Eleemosynary is one of my favorite plays (and perhaps my most-performed here in the U.S.), but it’s rarely been done in the UK or other Commonwealth countries. I suppose it’s because spelling bees seem largely to be an American […]
It’s A Wonderful Life by Tony Palermo. Directed by Pauline Armour. Thursday December 9th to Saturday December 18th (10 performances, including Sunday 12th December) We are thrilled to announce that our December production (postponed from 2020) will be that most iconic of Christmas stories It’s a Wonderful Life! A timeless heart-warming story for the whole family, a lively ensemble of talented actors, music, fun advertisements – be prepared to laugh out loud, perhaps shed a little tear – but most of all have […]
For the last 6 years BLT has entered the Kent Drama Association Play Festival. This year the Festival was for radio plays and many groups across Kent rose to the challenge to put together audio productions during the ‘lockdown’ period from October to March. At BLT we decided to perform the famous text of The Trojan Women by Euripides which includes several well known historical and mythical characters as well a chorus of women. This gave a large number of […]
‘THE TROJAN WOMEN’, our entry to the KDA Audio Play Festival, is nearing completion thanks to the hard work and patience of our actors and wonderful technical team. They have shown such dedication and perseverance to get it right and make it sound as if we are all outside the walls of Troy and not scattered around South East London and Kent hidden in wardrobes, shrouded with duvets to dub down the sound. Now it’s the ‘big edit’ to add […]
If you fancy working on an original piece for an audio production, Jane Lobb is keen to lead a project of this type. The process would involve improvisation resulting in an audio script which we would record and share with our BLT members. Jane would love to hear from people who would like to engage with this approach – please contact her at janelobb@hotmail.co.uk and please copy Pauline Armour to assist with organisation especially of ZOOM meetings as required DEADLINE […]
‘Wilde Wilde Women’ inspired by the plays of Oscar Wilde. As Wilde is in the public domain, a project which takes scenes from his plays celebrating in particular his fantastic female characters (though his male characters will be included) would film well as they are quite static and rely upon the sparkling language. If you are interested in being involved in a Wilde project please let Pauline Armour know by 1 February at the latest so that scenes can be […]
We are looking at small cast plays and scenes from plays which we could film in a similar way to the BBC’s ‘Staged’ with David Tennant and Martin Sheen. Of course we won’t have the BBC’s highly sophisticated production team, but we are investing in some green screen equipment which we can lend to participants to film themselves at home and then we can add an appropriate background. Projects for which you can sign up now are: ‘The Shakespeare Review’ […]
