Oh Little Town of Battersea, how still we see thee lie. Need a cheer up this January.? We take you to a tower block in London where residents are all prepping to celebrate Christmas, each in their own ways. Of course, the day would not be perfect without things going wrong. And a lot goes wrong for the residents of Block 23. Listen to our Christmas Radio Play completely devised and scripted by members of Medway Amateur Dramatics Society.
Scene 1: Santa Baby - 00:00
We begin with the Strongs. Jeremy Strong is writing his Christmas wish letter to Santa. Will it get to the big man on time?

All the residents get thrown in the blistering cold. Here we meet the Masons and the Wilsons, two families who could not be more different.

We follow the Masons inside where they are visited by their relatives Shayne and Michelle Mason. Hopefully, they will be able to get through Christmas dinner without fighting.

We return to the Strongs. This time focusing more on Jeremy's dad.

The Vengeful Corpse
We’re a couple of weeks late for Halloween but we really wanted to share with you the first official MADS Radio Play. A spooky mystery called The Vengeful Corpse.
Ayomikun Adekaiyero directs this tale from the Inner Sanctum Mysteries from the 1950s. Sarah Seaton believes her ancestor has come back to life to take revenge on those who accused her of witchcraft and killed her for it. Paul Seaton, Sarah’s husband, does not believe his poor wife’s delusions until people in the town start turning up dead. Has Sarah’s ancestor, Hester, really returned from the dead?
Paul – Jimi Olumide
Sarah- Ananya Bhatt
Hester- Daniele Jankute
Raymond- Kieran Webb
Mr Griffin- Philip Murphy
Sheriff- Charlie Gurr
Dr Norton- Ethan Willis
Judge Foster- Caitlin Smith

If video killed the radio star then why does the radio still exist? This year, MADS is moving to the radio! Our audience can't come to us, so we are coming to our audience via the internet. Our committee didn't want to approve this without us testing it out first. Check out our attempt of a five-minute mystery radio play. Can you work out the mystery before Sergeant Barker does?
