Wireless Theatre Horror and Thrillers

. For the third year running, we hosted STAGE FRIGHT to launch the fabulous London Horror Festival. Three plays short listed and performed live to special guest judge Seth Patrick. First up we had Special Delivery by Elizabeth Adlington, which focused on a couple following the delivery of a rather unusual teddy bear. Next came Tears from the Pillow by Gabrielle Wright, a touching yet spine-chilling tale about a man in a coma (we daren’t reveal any more). Finally, Pete Barrett’s Forever Amber told the story of a cantankerous lord with a passion for taxidermy. The award went to Pete Barrett’s FOREVER AMBER, but you can listen to all three productions here.

Stage Fright 2013. Once again Wireless Theatre were thrilled to open the London Horror Festival by recording, live at the Etcetera Theatre, three short-listed horror plays; Valley House, The Skulk and Cool Head. The plays were then judged by horror royalty Kim Newman.

3 short horror plays submitted as part of londonhorrorfestival.com‘s first ever STAGE FRIGHT competition, followed by a live performance from Richard O'Brien (Rocky Horror Show) including the Time Warp.

This original drama centres on main protagonist Zoe (Fay Downie) and the disturbing Kerry (Lexy Howe).

Recorded by an all female cast in honour of International Women’s Day, Sweatbox is a darkly comic look at society’s fascination with celebrity.

Two seriously out-of-their-depth police officers uncover the strange tale of what happened when middle-aged and romantically disappointed hairdresser Marjorie Briggs found something in a polythene bag on the beach that didn’t belong there, something ancient and terrible – something with the power to seriously muck up the lives of Marjorie and all those she loves and hates, as surreal comedy shifts towards a very strange sort of Greek tragedy…. Written by Marty Ross
