Silent Witness star leads Kirkcaldy radio station's drama

Featuring actor, activist, comedian and presenter Liz Carr, perhaps best known as forensic examiner 'Clarissa Mullery' in the BBC One drama 'Silent Witness' , radio drama is making its way to Kirkcaldy's Community Radio Station

'Connections' is an engaging new series of 5x15-minute dramas by new writers with disabilities, performed by a mainly disabled cast, about making choices to make connections.

Produced by Naked Productions and supported by The Audio Content Fund with input from Graeae Theatre, to be broadcast on K107fm alongside 15 other radio stations in the UK this week

K107fm will broadcast the series Monday - Thursday from 10:00, with a double episode on Thursday.

A spokesman for the station said: "During the current pandemic, we are all experiencing isolation in a way that many of us never normally encounter and having to make tough choices: this is a regular daily occurrence for those with disabilities.

“Each drama looks at a different example or kind of isolation, connected to ‘disability’ within the widest definition of the word, physical or mental or emotional and explores how to connect.

“Each play stands alone as a satisfying listen, with the theme of connection; and between each play there are yet more subtle connections, for the listener to enjoy finding!"

Radio drama of this calibre is not often heard on community radio, so its something we are proud to present.”
