An innovative experiment in epistolary radio drama
"For
one week in the middle of the summer a giant eye appears in the sky over the
city. At the end of seven days it disappears as suddenly as it had originally
materialized..."
Audacity Theatre Lab hand-selected a number of playwrights from around the country to take part in this innovative collaboration. The short blurb above served as the launching point for the playwrights to create one to three page scenes, monologues, letters, songs, newspaper clippings, thoughts, etc.
There's an eye in the sky. How has it effected those on the ground? What does it mean? Where did it come from?
From the contributions of the playwrights, Audacity has launched a large-scale project to that will stretch on for the entire first half of 2009. 6-7 episodes, each featuring three radio pieces will be engineered and posted on this website. By the end of the summer, we plan to have the whole series up online.
Starting in January 2009!
