The Untold Storytelling Festival
Line of Duty鈥檚 Jed Mercurio leads programme-makers, contributors and writers in a discussion of modern storytelling, from R4鈥檚 The Untold to TV鈥檚 Sex Education. Grace Dent chairs
Grace Dent leads a discussion about modern storytelling on radio and television, in fact and fiction. Joining Grace on stage in front of an invited audience at the 麻豆社 Radio Theatre are Line of Duty鈥檚 creator, Jed Mercurio, factual podcast maker Jennifer Forde, leading drama executive and writer John Yorke, novelist Chibundu Onuzo, and TV writer Laurie Nunn. How does factual storytelling differ from fiction? How is the vogue for real-crime podcasts changing the storytelling landscape and just why did Jed Mercurio kill off one of his leading characters half way through Bodyguard?
At the heart of the discussion are the editor, producers and some of the most memorable contributors from Radio 4鈥檚 The Untold. Featuring heart-stopping moments from the first 100 episodes, 鈥楾he Untold鈥� Storytelling Festival showcases how the team behind Radio 4鈥檚 home of real-life storytelling deploy the finest skills of contemporary audio production to follow people as they face life-changing decisions.
