Vectis Radio is broadcasting the premiere of a new radio play – written by a nine year old schoolgirl.

Anna Thomas, of Ryde, submitted her play Terror Island in a competition run by the radio station, in partnership with Origins Theatre. And she won the prize of having her work produced for radio, with sound effects, music, and a cast of Island actors.

It will be broadcast via Vectis Radio as part of the Monday Magazine show, between 1 and 2pm on Monday 10th July.

Ian Mac, station manager, said:

“We are so proud of Anna, and delighted to produce and broadcast her play to the world. We love giving people opportunities and we’re sure everyone will love Terror Island!”
