Sherlock Holmes Radio Drama Workshop, Drop-In Session, 31st July 2019, 1-3pm
|
Radio was the first broadcast medium and before film and television people religiously tuned-in to their favourite radio programs - with families gathering at home to listen to the radio in the evening. The stories travelling across the airwaves could take them to different countries, different time periods and even different worlds...
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories became firm Old Time Radio favourites with 'The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce famously broadcast from 1939 until 1943 in the USA. Join us at our radio drama workshop and explore the process behind creating these audio drama productions. Listen to some Old Time Radio shows, read the scripts, then rehearse and record your own Sherlock Holmes scenes! Have fun with our live sound effects desk creating footsteps, horses, storms and everything in between from a variety of everyday objects - your imagination is the limit! You will be able to take away a copy of your recordings. Family fun. Wednesday 31st July 2019, Open Drop-In Session from 1-3pm The Activities Room Portsmouth City Museum Workshop Leaders: Kerren Garner, Sophie Flack & Dan Skelt |

Recording in the beautifully atmospheric setting of the historic Round Tower, Lantern Light Theatre Company bring this terrifying adventure vividly to life for radio, with an ensemble cast, Victorian costumes, lighting, sound and smoke effects.
Increasingly haunted in the last few days of his life by the sinister legend of the hound of the Baskervilles, Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the moor by Baskerville Hall. Declared a simple case of heart failure by the coroner, but friend and neighbour, Dr. Mortimer is not convinced. Disturbed by the idea that darker forces are at play and fearful for the life of the new heir - Sir Henry Baskerville - he pays a visit to the world famous consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes.
His story piques the interest of the brilliant mind, who, however chooses to send the ever faithful Dr. Watson as his deputy to accompany Sir Henry Baskerville to Baskerville Hall. Watson and Sir Henry alone attempt to unravel the complicated tangle of affairs in Dartmoor while the net draws ever tighter and the terrible howls draw ever closer .... but where is Sherlock Holmes?
Come and join us - if you dare....
