‘All About the Story’ - Inspiring Audio Dramas

I present five short audio dramas written by me and acted by the very eclectic and well-dispersed Saltshakers Drama Group. In fact, I am not sure I even know where they all come from!

The dramas are recorded over a number of weeks on Zoom - often with lots of mistakes, fun and laughter. I then edit the recordings and add suitable sound effects - you know, dogs barking, footsteps and doors being closed.

I hope that these little audio stories will make you laugh, possibly cry and hopefully reflect on what they mean to you.

But, it’s ‘All about the Story’, not me, so here they are, five dramas performed by the enthusiastic amateurs of the Saltshakers Drama Group for your enjoyment:

The Love Tree

Roots of large tree in forest

A tale of love found in strange places in sleepy surburbia.

Cruey’s cousin

Eye looking though planks of wood

A tale of a two-faced lady … and her mild-mannered nemesis.

Mercy

Homeless person sat in street

A tale of a politician, a migrant … and a thug!

Big Jim’s daughter

Pie, mash, and gravy in dish

A tale of a pie & mash shop and the family who work there.

Sorry now

Lift button being pressed

A tale of six people stuck in a lift.

An invitation:

I have written a new book that is coming out in late Spring 2025, The Chandelier Maker, which I have also turned into a drama for audio. However, there are 92 parts and we are currently a few actors short. So if you are a confident performer,share my values (have look at my Bio) and genuinely think you could ‘hack it’ as an actor, please contact me and we can talk about you joining us in the endeavour - you will have fun!
