Inspired by the morality folk and fairy tales of old, Bunbanter radio plays are like no other!

Each play, set in various genres, has some moralistic thread running through them and all have the unique, quirky Bunbanter style. Although our radio plays are child friendly they are predominantly produced for adults so they can be dark, unpredictable and weird.

Our tales are new writing encouraged by our series genres, promoting the mix of our storytelling heritage with the new society of today. Old folk tales are disappearing into our past, and being replaced by films and computer games. We aim to re-write these stories, inspired by the tales of old, encouraging people of today's world, the way past generations inspired our grandparents!

Our radio plays air on various radio stations. For current details please see the RADIO STATION tab. Alternatively you can hear clips on the LISTEN NOW tab.

Listen to car chases, follow red herrings and hear the occasional hit! This series is gonna take you well away from home!

Writers...

Bunbury Banter supports new writing and believe it is extremely important to the future of the industry. We are always interested in hearing from new writers! Prior experience is therefore not mandatory but the ability to tell a hell of a story is absolutely essential!

We have a team of readers who work with our writers to produce the ultimate bunbanter radio plays from their scripts. We also send out script reports when working with new writing, as we have found they can be extremely helpful to developing writers.

If you would like to be considered and to receive further details please contact us at writing@bunbanter.com

"The stage of radio is darkness and silence, the darkness of the listener's skull. On it the dramatist can bring anyone or anything without the trouble and expense of a scenic artist. .... The process of building it is simple; the words are spoken, and we become designers, producers, scene shifters, and the theatre itself"- Frances Gray
