FOR BIG FINISH PRODUCTIONS (audio)

Most recently (April 2018) Louise has devised and directed a four part audio drama concerning WWII female pilots called ATA GIRL and is currently in discussions with two production houses with a view to turning it into a high end TV series.

THEATRE FOR CHILDREN

BEWARE THE GOBLIN MEN – audio download from Louise’s website www.louisejameson.com as a short story with music.  (composer is John Telfer)  This is also a script ready to roll.  It can be done with a cast of two, but the idea is to take children from the local drama groups and have them play the Goblins, leaving the actresses free to be Primrose and Bluebell.  Inspired by Christina Rossetti’s poem Goblin Market, it highlights the need for sisters to support each other, whilst taking the children on an exciting and sometimes scary journey (aimed at 4 – 9 year olds)

Wotcha Will – A versatile script, aimed at young teenagers, it has been performed by professionals and students,  this links all the ‘best bits’ of Shakespeare into a circus.  The casts have been as small as 6 and as large as 46.

IN DEVELOPMENT

(working title) A WOMAN’S PLACE

A TV series (invited by BBC2 to pitch) looking at forgotten female scientist and their legacy.  So many women from the 17/18/19 centuries have been overlooked and their work plagiarised.  In consultation with (scientist) Paul Abel , and a team of writers including Nigel Fairs and Helen Goldwyn, this series looks to redress the gender balance. The stories are fascinating and multiple.

VANITY PROJECT

We Two (or Sister, Sister)

A hard hitting film script examining the repercussions of rape, not just on the victim, but the family, friends and perpetrator.  Dark and prescient. I believe that this is a safe place to debate dangerous issues.  A story that has to be told.  Currently being developed with Thorny Devil Productions

CURRENT COMMISSION

A four part script where The Doctor meets a famous woman from history.  Part of the Doctor Who range.  
Working title – THE RELUCTANT HERO Helen Goldwyn and Louise are alsondeveloping a six part sit com ‘CAPTURED’.  Watch this space
