Our latest play on Audio Book Radio
We have another play being broadcast on Audio Book Radio.
This play is called Soft Centres and was written by Carl Chetty and Directed by Megan Finlay. It stars Sir Derek Jacobi as Frankie, and Joanna Lumley as Millicent.
Soft Centres is set in a chocolate shop. It's Valentine's Day, but there's about as much love in this emporium as you might expect in a nest of vipers!

Profile Information
- What I do... (Actor, director, designer, teacher etc?)
- Well, there are two of us actually ...We produce audio drama for broadcast on radio and the internet, and for sale via downloads, podcasts and on audio CD. We also hope to tackle some stage productions in the future.
Peter is also a professionally-trained life coach and offers coaching courses for people in the arts and media industries. He provides some free courses each year.
- My Quick CV
- We are a Limited Liability Partnership, currently with two members: Andrea Carpenter and Peter Brown.
Andrea has a background in journalism, and Peter has been developing multimedia programmes for more years than he cares to remember. We joined forces after meeting through a fringe production of Marsha Norman's 'night Mother in Camden, and decided to produce audio plays.
Peter used to be theatre reviewer for London Theatre Guide Online (http://www.londontheatre.co.uk) and wrote over 200 reviews of West End and fringe shows.
We've now got a catalogue of 4 plays which vary in length between 15 minutes and almost an hour. One of them stars Sir Derek Jacobi and Joanna Lumley.
We've had broadcasts on volunteer and university radio stations in the United States, and have a broadcast of The Desk on 'Audio Book Radio' for the week beginning 4th May.
Our main objective is to help writers, directors and actors to get their work produced in order to show the big wide world what they can do, and how good they are at doing it. We also like to have some fun while we are producing plays.
We have plans to produce quite a lot more drama, including a custom-written one about a train journey. We also hope to tackle some classics as well as Shakespeare in due course.
- The first thing that inspired me in theatre...
- Peter says: ... working myself to death building scenery and stage managing plays and light opera while at Queen Mary College. The university owned the old People's Palace Theatre in the Mile End Road, and it was having the chance to work in an enormous, professionally-equipped theatre that was really inspiring.
Andrea is thinking about what inspired her.
- My favourite theatre something is...
- Being totally engrossed in a damn good play or musical.
- The thing that annoys me about our industry...
- Not having cash to do all the plays we'd like to.

Cheers,
You mention that you create and sell radio plays. I would be interested in buying audio CDs from your company for our events. Do you have samples/descriptions available?
Thanks,
Julie
thanks very much for having a look at my profile and answering my questions.
You're right, I'm very keen to get on the radio, and am working on a small voicereel from some plays I've recorded previously. I would be very happy for you to consider using me in the future, there doesn't seem to be much opportunity outside the mighty BBC so it would be great to work with people who provide radio outside that.
I've attached your website to my favourites and will keep an eye out for your future productions.
Thanks again!
Zoe
