Atching Tan 'place where fires are lit' (Romani)

A new powerful and explosive drama for radio is being developed by RTC, interweaving stories exploring people and families within Gypsy and Traveller communities in the UK today.

Atching Tan is a collaborative drama with the Romany Theatre Company and the BBC working directly with Gypsy and Traveller communities to create a series made for radio broadcast. Storylines reflect real life and the different cultures, and the performers are from their own communities.

The pilot show of Atching Tan was broadcast on BBC Three Counties Rokker Radio and Radio 209Cambridge in January 2007.

Killimengro. New dates added: shows in March 2007.
