Location Details

Our radio drama 'Under the Mushroom Cloud' in the United Kingdom. This would be relatable to our target audience, rather than doing an 'American' drama which could potentially outcast and alienate the whole of our main audience. We did some research into actual fallout shelters and where they were located in the UK, which meant we could focus our narrative on one very specific location. We chose on the fallout shelter in Brentwood, Essex. We chose this because it could be a focal point in our story, the aim of the plot was for the survivors to get to this shelter. We decided the the whole story could emitate from London. Not only is this the capital but this is also an iconic location for an audience to recognise. Brentwood is 53 miles from London, which meant the dialogue could take place as the journey along the deserted and destroyed roads commenced.
