  • Summary

  • At the heart of Audible's three year partnership with the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) is the involvement of LAMDA students in the creative process of making new audio dramas especially for young people. Four original audio dramas were commissioned from some of the UK's most exciting emerging writers.

    The dramas were workshopped with LAMDA students and these final productions were recorded by graduating third years. The result is four brilliantly unique pilot episodes of dramas for a new generation that speak to the complex times we live in.

    We hope you enjoy listening to GNR8!

  • Ep. 1: Doggerland
    Oct 23 2019

    Once upon a time you could walk from France to England over the land mass known as Doggerland.

    Now refugees risk their lives smuggled in by lorry and small boats. Carly works in an isolated petrol station on the outskirts of a small town near the Kent coast where she grew up. Dreaming of her own escape, she is haunted by uneasy dreams of other times and a terrible crime.

    One day she meets a mysterious Turkish woman also looking to leave and, entranced by her, their journey begins.

    A mix of magical realism and a portrait of contemporary Britain, this is directed by Guy Jones.

    Chloe’s back in jail, again. Everything’s the same but nothing is the same. News that the prison, Holloway, is to close has upset the inmates and when one by one they start to fit and fall to the ground, no one knows why.

    Is it the effect of Spice smuggled into the prison, mass hysteria, or the women channelling the spirits of the Suffragette women incarcerated in the prison and force-fed a 100 years ago? A young journalist desperate for her first big story is determined to find out.

    Directed by Sophie Moniram.
