Waiting for a Window

Waiting for a Window Dark Comedy Fantasy Set in Tropical Island (Comedy-Drama)
Written and Produced by Frederick Greenhalgh

An unexpected storm throws Norman D. Waits off his course to... somewhere.

The island where he lands is nice enough, with old sea salts that welcome him with open arms and a bar that's always open. But as it becomes increasingly clear that no one ever seems to leave the island, Norman finds himself in a fight to get moving to some distant shore or remain trapped in this half-baked paradise forever.

It was fantastic to work with Fred and all the professionals on his team.
It was a very unique experience to record a radio play that was done entirely on location…
There is nothing more stimulating than using your mind’s eye to create a “visual” experience. All I can say is: thank God my nude scenes were on the radio and kept to a minimum.
:>
Seriously, it is wonderful to be part of an art form which is sorely under-rated yet hopefully on the rise!
Keep the flame burning, Fred!

Sincerely,

Joe Duley

Dear Mr Greenhalg,
greetings from the frozen wastes of the subantarctic zone (The Mountains of Madness). Greatly enjoyed your “Waiting for a Window” and congrats. on winning the 2009 Golden Ogle award. Bloody brilliant!!.

Many thanks also to FinalRune productions for all their other good stuff – esp. Ms Hoverson’s “Outpost”

In the small bitter insomniac ours of the morning, y’all are food for the mind!
Keep up the good work (perhaps somemore William Hope Hodgson??
Cheers from New Zealand,
regards,
Karl

Karl,

Really appreciate the comment – glad you enjoyed the show!

And just to clarify, “Outpost” was with 19 Nocturne Boulevard and NOT a FinalRune show – though we did feature it on the sister podcast, Radio Drama Revival (http://radiodramarevival.com).

FinalRune has predominantly been original work, but I’m happy to feature as much and wide a range on RDR as people want!

Best,
Fred
