Take part in building the Mancunia World
Alongside this drama, BBC Radio Drama North supported by the new social creativity platform Stringsta, have launched an exciting and unique web space ‘The World of Mancunia’, where budding writers and creatives can come together to share written, visual and audio content.
The website takes its inspiration from the drama’s exciting and dangerous world of police, informants and criminals. We have provided the foundations of this world by posting snippets of audio and dialogue from the drama, as well as character profiles and the photographs which inspired Michael Symmons Roberts’ narrative. We want you to use our content as a creative springboard to help build the Mancunia world further, through your own story ideas, scripts, photographs and audio recordings.
Not only is this a rare opportunity for you to become part of a shared on-line writing experience, but it is also a chance for you to get your work seen and heard by Producers from BBC Radio Drama who will be monitoring the posted content.
