Title: Let's find a story
Course: Hörspielwerkstatt / Radio Plays

Let's find a story!

Each radio play needs a good story. Before recording, that story has to be rewritten as a script containing all the dialogues and sound effects.

There's no use in thinking any further, however, if you haven't got a captivating story!

Therefore it's your first job to find a great story for your radio play!

Don't worry whether the story you like contains enough dialogues and direct speech. You'll have the chance to work on that later when writing the script. It's just the idea that has to fascinate you!

You might find a few suggestions here:
- Short Stories for kids and adults, up to eight pages long
- Short Stories Archive, hosted by a teenager magazine

Clue #1 These stories were written by someone else. That means they are copyrighted and you are not allowed to just take them and use them. You have to ask the authors of the texts or the people running the webpage whether you can use the stories for your radio play. If you make clear that you are involved in a school project you'll very likely get permission.
