Radio Plays with
​RTÉ Lyric FM

Co-production of four new plays with RTÉ lyric fm

Fishamble and RTÉ lyric fm have produced four original 28-minute radio plays to coincide with a season of music being broadcast during late 2003/early 2004. Directed by Fishamble’s Jim Culleton and produced by lyric’s Eoin Brady, it is a particularly exciting project as it marks both the first time Fishamble has produced work for radio and the first time RTÉ lyric fm has ever produced drama.

The season of plays was broadcast on RTÉ lyric fm on 96-99 fm at 10:00 pm from the end of 2003 through to the start of 2004; the schedule for transmission was as follows:
​

Music 3: Barber of Seville
Composer: Rossini

Play 3: Chaste Diana
Writer: Michael West

Music 4: Werther
Composer: Massenet

Play 4: Sweet Bitter
​Writer: Stella Feehily
