About the festival

The festival aims to bring diverse work from across the world, introducing a UK audience to the European tradition of radio drama often anchored in soundscape while celebrating our own more text-based tradition. The festival provides a UK audience with the rare pleasure of listening to radio drama in other languages, supported by English language translations of the script. The festival also brings together work from national broadcasters with that of emerging independent producers, and is proud that the major prizes have largely been awarded to this exciting but lesser known work.

Visit the festival

The listening venue is Eastbridge Hospital, 25 High Street, CT1 2BD.

All listening sessions are free and everyone is welcome to attend.
