1. Treatment for ‘Lost bar’
Characters
Unknown man: Mysterious character. Acts as if he doesn’t
want to be seen or known. Maybe he is
wanted for a crime so trying to stay hidden,
or is just a shy and awkward type that likes
to keep himself to himself.
Local 1: Regular at the pub. Usually goes to drink
alone while reading the newspaper or
watching the TV there. Very social-able and
likes to know everyone there and what is
going on.
Local 2: Him and his wife go down now and then, just
for a drink on the weekend as it is down the
road, never have problems so enjoy it there.
My Radio Drama location is in a quiet bar in London, which generally just has the locals and
a couple of passers-by. A regular there notices something shifty about a man who enters, he
watches him, before asking if he is from around here. The unknown man keeps his head
down, drinking his beer. The regular asks again while walking over to him. ‘I said, are you
from around here!?’, He takes a sip of his drink and then slams it down, and jumps right in
the locals face. ‘Can a man not have a drink in peace around here!’ The local pushes him
back down to his seat, where the 3rd man goes over to try break up the fight. This angers
both the men and so the unknown man jumps up and punches the 3 rd man straight to the
ground. The local reacts instantly punching the unknown man, and helping the 3 rd man up,
as they’re friends. This leads to a fight between the unknown man and the two locals, where
it ends in kicking the unknown man out of the pub.
