Springline Radio Players is part of one of Oxfordshire most exciting and innovative amateur dramatic groups, Springline Productions which was formed in 2007. With numerous pantomimes, variety shows and village events under our belt, it was inevitable that we would turn their hand to “Steam Radio” and with Podbean, SoundCloud, YouTube and iTunes we are able to present to a wider public base. The idea of the Radio Players started several years ago but with the improvements in digital recording equipment including dramatic price reductions, couple with a partnership with Gobo Theatre Foundation, a charity created to help, support, mentor and inspire young people in the theatrical arts, our first radio play was rehearsed in March and recorded and completed in April 2016. Our total focus is to provide quality radio plays to a world-wide internet-based audience, while adding to our membership with like-minded people.
The following one-act play is reprinted from Read-aloud Plays. Horace Holley, the author wrote several short, one-act plays with a view for them to be read aloud as well as being performed on stage. Our approach is through the audio media of one of his 1916 plays.
