All About The Archers | Meet Sarah Hehir, Scriptwriter for The Archers & writer of this weeks' episodes. @AllAboutTheArchers-vv8jz | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Today we interview SARAH HEHIR who is a scriptwriter for THE ARCHERS and wrote THIS WEEK ending 20th October 2023! We discuss some of the scenes we have heard this week, characters, plot lines and much more. 15 minutes on your podcast player and longer on YouTube!
We would also like to mention that Sarah has a play touring the Balkans at the moment that is also set in Manchester, which they’d love to bring to to the UK.
It called “The Shadow Garden”. The play tells the story of the Bogujevci family: the first children to give evidence in a war crimes tribunal. This tribunal gives shape to the shifting narrative, slipping between time, place, reality and imagination. The shadow garden exists on stage as a parallel world of memory and alternate futures .
With one foot in Manchester and one in Kosovo, the family occupies a very private space in a very public arena. Through the children who survived, we learn about their loss and the resilience is takes to seek justice against the odds. Accounts of war are largely dominated by male military voices; this play celebrates the kind of power that doesn’t sit in the weight of a gun. The Shadow Garden is a collaborative, multi-media show developed with an international team and produced by Gjilan Theatre.
Sarah also has a play called “The Facility” published by The English and Media Centre for Key Stage 3 students. Its a contemporary play inspired by Antigone.
