Digital Drama to air Podcasts of Peace in Our Time     November 2015
1
Digital PIOT

Last seen on the West Coast in 2011 -- a stirring adaptation by Barry Creyton at the Antaeus Theatre Company in Los Angeles -- Peace is Our Time will appear worldwide this fall as an eight-part audio drama serial podcast, recorded and transmitted by Digital Drama.

From their website: 

"With a cast of 40 characters, the play is seldom performed in the theatre because of the high production costs involved and has rarely been put on in the UK since its first production in 1947. Set in a London pub, Coward imagined Britain under German occupation in the Second World War. The production of the play this year will have particular relevance as it marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the conflict. Released bi-weekly online, the format will draw a new audience to Coward's work, whilst creating an interactive, online legacy for Coward's play, related resources and a heightened profile for this little performed drama.
