Hidden Danger UXB!
Welcome to one of the most dangerous jobs in the world – bomb disposal. In ages past the weapons left behind on the battlefield posed little danger once the fighting had ended, for without the hand to wield it a sword or spear is inert. But since the advent of explosives, the remains of a war are primed and deadly, and retain their explosive capacity for many, many years after the war has been consigned to the annals of history. Until such a time as weapons are banned globally, or war has been consigned to museums, then brave people are needed to clean the former battle fields of their deadly detritus – the unexploded bomb or UXB!

Riot 1831!
Riot 1831! is a voice-play dramatisation of true events. Each scene is written for a specific location within Queen Square in Bristol, England. Move around the square to listen to the everyday stories and accounts of the rioters who protested in in that actual square for three days in 1831.
The riots occurred when thousands of Bristolians took to the streets in revolt against the defeat of the Reform Bill in the House of Lords. At the height of the unrest almost all the buildings in Queen Square were burnt to the ground. Hundreds of protesters died, almost 90 were sent to prison and four were hanged.
