The Dunshelm Players: Famous For Retreating

Sounds fun! Thanks.

Well I hope the play lives up to the promise, but remember that trailers can be deceptive; they're often more entertaining than what they advertise. It's partly because the constant shifting from one brief snippet to the next leads you to think that the story is going to be a lot faster-paced than it really is, partly because weaker material is deliberately not included in trailers, but mainly because your imagination 'fills in the gaps' incorrectly, making you think the tangents you're getting a very brief glimpse of are deeper and more sophisticated than they really are.
For sure the cast and crew are generally happy with what we did on the AP, and we feel it's very good for a first time out, but even so when you get to hear it you'll still notice plenty of flaws in it.
Time, to coin a cliche, will tell.

The play is now available. Please go to www.kmramdram.co.uk/ to download it. (In case you're wondering 'KM RAmDram' stands for Knightmare Radio Amateur Drama.)
It's being released in five parts, and to make them easier to download, they have been compressed to a lower bitrate than the original source recordings; there's an occasional dip in sound quality as a result, but nothing major.
The files can be downloaded direct from the server - big thanks to Forester for hosting them - or if you are any good with file-sharing you can take the strain off the server-bandwidth by downloading them through a BitTorrent we've set up. (If you download via the Torrent, please leave it open for seeding afterwards.)
You are free to download and distribute the play to anyone you feel would be interested in hearing it, but please do not make any modifications to it without consulting us first.
If you have any feedback or questions, please post them here, or email them to kmramdram@tiscali.co.uk.
Remember, this opening release of the play is effectively a prototype only. The 'definitive' version will be unveiled in CD form some time next year.

Download it, it's awesome!
I am a little biased, as I played Merlin and Skarkill in the play.
Also, for those of you too lazy to go exploring, here are the direct links for torrents/files:
Here is the trailer
The torrent of all five parts (42mb) (If you get a "This torrent is not allowed on this tracker." error, manually change the tracker in your client to this: http://tracker2.bt-chat.com/announce )
And Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5 for direct download.

To (mis)quote the bard:
"Do you raise your thumb at me sir?"
"no but I do raise my thumb!"
Excellent and Stirling work

I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet but I've downloaded and heard the clips and it sounds fantastic. As someone who's been interested in doing Knightmare as a drama for a while now, this has made my day!
Please do more!!!

"Quote:
Stirling work
Well it would be, seeing where half the crew came from...
Feeble joke, sorry"
Well it was meant as a joke from me but if you want to take the credit for its' feebleness instead of me then go right ahead!
Continuing the bard anologies a step further the work is rar from being known as the well known 'Scottish Tragedy' I think it could well be classed as 'the mostly Scottish triumph'!

We've received a few requests asking us to send the CD version of FFR to people. We will be doing that as soon as we can, but I'd better reiterate that the CD version will be a remix of the play, which hasn't been completed yet. It certainly won't be ready in time for Christmas presents, as someone has requested.
What I will do in the meantime is start a CDROM release of the MP3 version; a few people with narrowband connections have been having trouble downloading the play because it just takes too long. So I will copy the MP3 files, with a higher bitrate, to some CDROMs and despatch them to those who are having problems downloading. If you want to receive one of these, please send your address details to the KMRAMDRAM email address above.
(Private joke.)
