My name is Tony Cealy and I am the coordinator of Noh Budget Films Production Company based in South London. Over the past two years, we have been developing a radio drama entitled 492 Korna Klub, which explores the themes of family, community, social and political injustices.

We would really like 492 Korna Klub to be part of your broadcast schedule because we feel the target audience of (station name) fits very well with who our drama is aimed at. We believe that reaching out to the local community is very important and your station would be a brilliant way to do this.

For the last twenty years, our company has focussed on community development and we were keen to create a radio drama that illustrates the solutions to heal problems, which exist and blight our local communities today. We are aiming to broadcast the series for community cohesion, making the episodes interactive which would allow listeners to interact with the cast and suggest solutions to the ongoing drama.

492 Korna Klub focuses on an Afro Caribbean family deciding to return back home, after 50 years of life in the UK. They run a community centre in their spare time near to where they live in South London. Their forthcoming silver wedding anniversary plans to handover their possessions to their siblings' leads to difficulties. Staff at the community centre are up in a peril organising activities and events for their launch.
This kind of interactive radio drama is something which hasn't been done before, especially on a community station level and we are really keen to make it work. If this sounds like a project you would like to get involved with, we would love for you to get in touch, so that we can arrange a meeting to discuss this further.

Below are some links for you to see and hear the pilot episodes which we recorded in front of a live audience, at the Lost Theatre earlier this year.
