<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif""> Abbey Theatre-based <b>Company of Ten</b> has joined forces with St Albans’ own <b>Radio Verulam</b> to produce a number of
radio plays to be broadcast on Sunday evenings over the next couple of months.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">The company recorded and aired its first play, an adaptation of “The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” by Mark Waghorn,
from Radio Verulam’s newly refurbished studios last autumn, and has just finished recording a complete set of plays which have all been written by members of the established CoT Writer’s Group.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">The series commences on August 28th at 4pm with “Terms and Conditions Apply” written by Peter Hale and directed by Martin Goodman,
then followed weekly by “Delivered” (Jane Fookes/Terry Prince), “Impromptu” (Derek Rhodes/Tina Swain), a repeat of “The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” (Mark Waghorn), “Empire of Dirt” (Ian Jordan), “Lear and his Daughters” (Chystalla Spire), and “Spaghetti
Junction” (Anne Stafford-Murray/ Angela Stone). All the parts are played and recorded by the Company’s members.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">After each play has aired, it will be available as a free podcast on both iTunes and the Abbey Theatre website, <a href="http://www.abbeytheatre.org.uk/" target="_blank">www.abbeytheatre.org.uk</a>,
where listeners can also find a synopsis of each play.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">Chair of the Company of Ten Martin Goodman is highly enthusiastic about the joint venture.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"">“Being able to record at the Radio Verulam studios has meant we can deliver first-class broadcasts and podcasts with all the
special effects and technical expertise we might need. Radio drama is a hugely exciting opportunity for us to engage with the wider community and enables us to demonstrate our range of talents to many more people. With an estimated audience of over fifteen
thousand listeners, Radio Verulam is the perfect vehicle.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
