Summer Of Sherlock: Sherlock Holmes Radio Drama Workshop at Portsmouth City Museum

About

Sherlock Holmes Radio Drama Workshop Open Drop-In Session from 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 for the 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.
