Tech-Topia - draft script now available to read

[HStorm]

The final instalment of the audio drama series The Dunshelm Players began way back in 2006 was expected to be made and released some years ago, and an early draft of the script, working title 'Tech-Topia,' was written in 2018-19. But we ended up leaving it in limbo due to a general lack of audience.

Back at Christmas 2025, you may remember, we released a one-off play called All Must Surely Be An Illusion to test to see whether there was a renewed appetite for the audios. Sadly, after eight months, the play has still had well under 100 views on YouTube. The audience simply isn't there to the extent that it is worth the considerable effort required to make Tech-Topia. With this in mind, we have now officially abandoned all plans to record the play. Apologies to anyone who was hoping to hear it eventually.

I am aware though that some of our listeners would still like to know what happened after the end of the Techno-Colour Tales. Therefore, the draft script mentioned above is now available to read from our website. You can see it at https://dunshelmplayers.wordpress.com/dramas/tech-topia-script-only/

As this was an early draft, it is not necessarily how the story would have finally played out. But we'll never know the final form it would have taken, and for anyone who wants to know what happens next, this is about the nearest you are going to get.

Please note that we may still make some smaller projects in the future. But the really big plays are a thing of the past.
