Theme

The theme we chose for our radio drama was post-apocolyptic adventure, taking influences from genres such as sci-fi, action and also horror. Listening to radio dramas such as Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and War of the Worlds definately helped and influenced when deciding on a theme as all of the group members loved these two dramas in particular. We originally thought of a zombie apocolypse horror, however we thought the whole story and ideas were a bit predictable and not original enough. We wanted to create a drama that would be memorable and individual and felt this was not the direction to go in. We all agreed that a theme such as a nuclear fallout was original and interesting, and could be portrayed in such an intriguing way on the radio.
