At the heart of Audible's three year partnership with the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) is the involvement of LAMDA students in the creative process of making new audio dramas especially for young people.
After the success of GNR8T (Series 1) last year, another four original audio dramas were commissioned from some of the UK's most exciting emerging writers. The dramas were workshopped with LAMDA students and these final productions were recorded by graduating third years. The result is four brilliantly unique dramas for a new generation that speak to the complex times we live in. We hope you enjoy listening to GNR8T!

I was impressed by season 1 last year so had high expectations for this year's audio dramas. Thankfully, I was not disappointed. The four dramas in this collection are quite stunning. They cover quite dark subject matter and are an intense listen at times. My favourites were Bear Trap which has a lot of horror overtones and Rosehill which has unsettling echoes of White Horse Farm and some supernatural elements. The partnership is for three years so hopefully there will be a third series.
