³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ World Service invites its audience to help create interactive drama
|
³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ World Drama and ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ World Service's weekday magazine programme Outlook, link up for a unique interactive drama collaboration which asks listeners to help create a play – Kim's Game – to be broadcast in the World Drama slot on Saturday 16 February.
Ìý
In Kim's Game by Jonathan Myerson, a young woman walks into a London police station with no idea of who she is or how she got there.
Ìý
She goes on Outlook to explain her predicament on air and to ask if anyone out there knows her. Her plea appears online as a blog, with pictures of the objects that she has with her – which include a key and two photos.
Ìý
She calls herself Kim – after the game in which you have to look at objects on a tray then remember them when they are removed. Meanwhile she tries to regain her own memory. What does the key open? Who is the young man in the photo which seems to have been torn in half?
Ìý
The idea is that Outlook listeners will steer the writer Jonathan Myerson in his scripting of the full 60-minute play which will be broadcast on the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ World Service in the World Drama slot on 16 February.
Ìý
They are invited to post comments identifying the pictures or the key, suggesting who the young woman might be and what might have happened to her. Each day she will learn more about herself from the listeners.
Ìý
There will be six short four-minute instalments about Kim on Outlook from Friday 11 January to Friday 18 January.
Ìý
Meanwhile other clues turn up and each time Outlook's listeners are invited to contribute. Perhaps there is a song she can't get out of her head? What does it mean? Perhaps the door which can be opened by the key is found – what lies behind it?
Ìý
Finally the young woman discovers something that raises big questions about how she came to be where she is...

Kim's blog can be accessed through the Outlook web page at bbcworldservice.com or directly at
