The Radio Script Workshop

The year is nearly finished and soon I would have completed my first year of Uni! I am very pleased to say that I feel very proud and excited at the same time... For the last few days at Uni we have been working towards a radio drama recording, we have written our own scripts and soon will be recording them.
I have been working with Mario and so far the process has gone smoothly. We have sound affects organized and the script is complete.

We have written the script in radio drama format.

Pause… Breathing

GIRL: Think I’m growing- Do you think I’ve grown?

Pause

BOY: Not sure we can eat right now

NOISES OF SCRATCHING OF THE WALLS

GIRL: Stop doing that, you always do that, I’m sick of that noise

BOY: I’m sick of these walls, I’m sick of this place, I’m sick of this situation we’re in

GIRL: What we gonna do?

BOY: Shut up! Sound of scratching of the hair… Just give me a minute

Pause

GIRL: Why are you being like this? You promised me we’d get out of here, I can’t go on my own, I need you… Are you even listening to me?

BOY: (loud) Alright, Alright shut up

GIRL: Why have you stopped listening to me? We used to be a good team You & I… If you start listening to me again… we’ll be out of here in no time!

BOY: (angry) Without you we wouldn’t even be in this situation, you’re always in my ear, (shout) just shut up for once

GIRL: Shhhh , don’t shout, they might hear you !

SOUND OF HEAVY FOOTSTEPS

INNER VOICE: BOY: It’ just a black hole, I haven’t seen the light in days
