Broken and Blue - BBC Commission Opportunity     

BBC Radio 3 and BBC writersroom are looking for original, entertaining and diverse music dramas for radio.

Broken and Blue is aimed at writers who would like to extend their body of work into this under-explored area and rethink the role of music and song in radio drama. Recent Radio 3 dramas The Loneliest Road by Gregory Whitehead (Sony Gold winner 2003) and The Don by Jeff Young are examples of plays that use music as an integral part of the narrative.

The proposed drama can be up to 90 minutes long, the script is key at this stage but you are encouraged to be as inventive as possible with the way music is involved in your concept.

Writers are invited to apply alone, without an original score, in which case Radio 3 will find them the right composer, with a composer, or using existing music in a creative and interesting way.

Successful writers will get a full BBC commission and their play will be broadcast on Radio 3 in August 2005.

Send a two page proposal for your drama, together with the opening ten-fifteen minutes fully scripted, your CV and a covering letter with your contact details to:
