Written by Marty Ross, featuring a stunning soundtrack written for us by the wonderful Francesco Quadruopolo and directed by a strange little northerner we took in to keep out of trouble, this modern day Greek Tragedy is NOT TO BE MISSED.
 
Set in the humble seaside resort of Biddlecombe, two policemen stumble across a town turned to stone. Come with us as we hear the mystery unravel and find out how an ordinary woman plunges into a mythical world of emotional turmoil and divine vengeance. Biddlecombe is no longer the territory of the middle-aged hairdresser…. this town is the land of the gorgon.
 
Featuring fantastic performances from Joyce Springer, Jennifer McFarlane, Mike Garnell and Madlena Neveda, to mention but a few, and slick editing by Lester Barry.

THE GRIMM OF STOTTESDEN HALL

http://www.wirelesstheatrecompany.co.uk/download/Grim.mp3

“TRUE! Nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why WILL you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! And observe how healthily, how calmly, I can tell you the whole story.” Edgar Allen Poe

Come with the Wireless Theatre Company as we take you on a journey of madness, terror and gruesome, GRUESOME MURDER! The decaying walls of Stottesden Hall are the setting for our latest LIVE recording of a new radio play by Stuart Price based on the works of Edgar Allen Poe. Recorded in front of a terrified live audience on the 7th May, you’d be mad not to listen.

HOLY SMOKE

The Brewery is close to signing a lucrative deal to sell The Belfry pub and earn a fat load of cash but they don’t want to upset the locals. They have installed Bruce and Barbi Wayne, the worst landlords in the Brewery’s history, to run the pub into the ground. However, the new landlords know nothing of the Brewery’s plan and, having already destroyed four previous pubs, look at this as their chance to finally get it right. When Brewery members start to disappear it is a race against time to keep the deal on the table and to thwart their unknown nemesis. For Bruce and Barbi it’s just business as (un)usual. The Belfry stands on a ring-road near the edge of town. In such a prime location it is able to offer an unhealthy mix of aspiration and desperation, blending the mundane with the bizarre, in an innovative and highly original sit-com. (www.31pumpkins.com)
