Oxford Playhouse's 10x10 Radio Play Sharing radio plays are now available to enjoy online.

Over two days in June 2024, playwright Carolyn Lloyd-Davies led free writing workshops for a group of later-in-life participants with the aim of creating 10-minute radio plays.

This collection of diverse short plays touch on themes as wide as family conflict, empowerment and deceit – with all of them reflecting in different ways what it means to be alive.
