My fully improvised, SOLO Radio Play - Evaline
I/m recording a fully improvised Radio Play solo!
Bonkers! This what I do with time on my hands and a captive audience.
Multiple characters, no preparation, no written text, one take only, no rehearsal, no preparation.
I finished Episode 1and had to keep going. I've now recorded 6 episodes.
It is set in 1923 England and starts an English country mansion where Evaline suspects a murder has been committed. The story eventually takes her to Tivoli Theatre in London.
Characters in Episodes 1 to 6 so far:
Evaline 'Evvie' Pankhurst (young woman, 21)
Hillary 'Hills' Appleby (young man, 23)
Honourable Matilda Appleby (his ailing aunt, 84)
Banderson (Butler, 70s )
Ernest Pankhust (Evvie & Binky's Great Uncle)
Harry (Ernest Pankhurst's Chauffeur)
Mrs. Fossicker (Ernest Pankhurst's Housekeeper)
Chantel the Chanteuse (showgirl at the Tiv, 21)
Inspector Sidebottom (Police Officer)
Police Constable
Binky (Evvie's brother, 23)
Jackie & Bouncer (Tivoli comedy duo)
