Festival of Drama 2020:
Who Are We Now?
30 October - 1 November
Owing to the continuing COVID-19 restrictions the Festival has been cancelled for 2020. We still hope to hold the Festival at a future date.
For updates, watch this homepage and check our twitter feed @RadiusDrama, looking out for the hashtag #WAWN2020.
The inaugural Kathleen Hall lecture will be given by our Patron, the Rt Revd Rowan Williams, on 18 September 2021 in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, following Radius's AGM in the morning. We have booked Holy Rood retreat house, Thirsk, from
17-19 September for a residential weekend, and you can register an interest now by emailing [email protected].
Plague and Pandemic is a collection of narratives, poems, monologues and two short plays to be performed as a staged reading or full performance. The collection takes in the Black Death of 1348, the Great Plague of 1665, the Spanish Flu of 1918 and the Coronavirus of 2020. Even though the volume features dramas set in dark times, there are many light-hearted moments and the collection as a whole testifies to the resilience of the human spirit. Cost: £7.
See here for further details of how to buy Plague and Pandemic together with Reconciliation/
Remembrance for the special offer price of £12.50.

Radius AGM

From Nick Warburton, Chair of Radius Council:
There will be an obituary in the next 'Radius Performing'.
The Revd Canon
Brian E Cook 1936-2020
"We have to report the sad news that the Revd Canon Brian Cook died on the 3rd of August. A professional actor and director, Brian was a Radius Vice President and for years was very much at the heart of what we do. I will remember him for his great warmth, his generosity and his distinctive wit and humour."
