The Wandsworth Way

A brand-new radio drama series, produced by Theatre503 and Riverside Radio. Imagine The Archers, but set in South West London.

Tune in to Battersea’s own Riverside Radio to catch weekly episodes of a brand-new Wandsworth radio drama series, kicking off this Summer. The project is a unique chance for local people to get involved in storytelling, performance, and production. The storyline will be crafted by multi-award-winning South London writer James Fritz in collaboration with local emerging writers.

They find exceptional playwrights who will define the canon for the next generation. Learning and career development are at the core of what they do.

Riverside Radio is a local community radio station, based in Battersea, with a volunteer force of over 200 local people from every walk of life, age and background who come together to create something special for local people. 

James Fritz is an award-winning writer from South London.
