Mackem Craic – 2017
Funded by the Cultural Spring and the #Fourteen Fund, Mackem Craic was an audio drama devised via workshops, in partnership with six schools and community groups across Sunderland and South Tyneside.
The drama is staged as a phone-in show on local radio, where the surly host and his dim-witted co-host are interrupted by mysterious goings-on — is the former host trolling the show from beyond the grave?
Mackem Craic was written by James Whitman, directed by Corinne Kilvington & produced by Jay Sykes. The central cast are Dale Jewitt, Sarah Boulter & Steven Stobbs.
SeaBurn – 2014
Pippa finds herself drawn to the comfort and solace of Seaburn Beach.
SeaBurn was written & produced by Jay Sykes, as his final project on MA Radio at the University of Sunderland.
Starring Chloe Gosling, Kylie Ann Ford, Matthew Korol, David Foster & Louise Lyster.
Gold winner at the New York Awards 2015, for “Best Student Drama Program”.
