RING GAME BY Arnetia Thomas

SYNOPSIS: “There’s a Brown girl in the ring sha-la-la-la-la and she looks like a sugar and a plum plum plum.” Susanna is a Brown girl in a ring of a never ending game. Trapped and controlled by her sister Lisa, and Lisa’s friend Alice, she tries to find love, comfort and freedom in a place where they don’t seem to exist. Will she find what she’s looking for? Will the game ever end? Or will she always be trapped in a ring game?

THE SERPENT’S MOUTH by Randy Ablack

SYNOPSIS: This radio play is a work of fiction. It is set in the sleepy village of Caranage. Three police officers investigate the disappearance of a young boy. The search for the missing boy threatens to disrupt the accepted levels of corruption to which villagers have become immune. ‘THE SERPENT’S MOUTH’ speaks directly to the disconnect we have between our communal responsibility and our social ills.
