Stuck for something to do over the Christmas holidays and beyond now that we are in Tier 4 and staying in is the new going out? Then why not write a short radio play? All you need to record it is a mobile phone or laptop.

It can just be a monologue or involve the whole household if you want to. Just keep it to between five and 10 minutes long.

All the plays submitted will be listened to by a panel at the cornerHOUSE in Surbiton and some will get to feature on the arts centre’s website for all to hear. And, if Covid restrictions allow later on next year, they may well be performed on its stage in front of an audience.

Submissions will be accepted up to and including Friday, February 5, 2021.

Guidance on how to write, record and submit a radio drama is on the Douglas Road arts centre’s website at www.thecornerhouse.org/cornerhouse-radio-shorts
