Lotus FM latest radio drama.

Since early 2006, Lotus FM has been broadcasting radio drama to an ever-increasing fan base, eager for the next episode of their gripping serials. Their latest offering takes listeners to unexplored territory in a tale of adventure and intrigue in ancient India.

All That Glitters is the story of a spoilt rich princess who pawns a priceless ruby necklace to feed her extravagant lifestyle. The queen, her grandmother, finds out about this and, incensed by the loss of this family heirloom, orders the princess to get it back. This proves to be a difficult task and the princess sets off in her quest for the necklace, learning some valuable lessons about life on the way.

The series is produced by Raeesa Mahomed and was recorded in the SABC drama studios in Durban by the director, Caroline Smart. It makes full use of a wide range of sound effects and music to create the period. The language is also reflective of the times and was written by Clinton Marius. The actors rose to the challenge and the result is a highly entertaining, well-crafted piece of radio drama.
