RACHEL SINCLAIR

We first met Rachel in 1990 when she was doing the postgraduate course in Radio in the department of Media and Communications at Goldsmiths' College, University of London. Since then we've worked with her on many occasions and she has never been anything but a delight to work with. Words to describe Rachel? Well, how about conscientious, reliable, hard-working, intelligent, honest, to name just a few......

She began to assist with IRDP productions after graduating from Goldsmiths', putting her knowledge of radio drama to good use by becoming assistant producer on some of our projects, including the epic Dracula and the Marshall Cavendish series The Magical Music Box. This involved a variety of tasks from sound engineering, tape operation, tape editing, sound mixing, as well as enthusiastically helping out with the more mundane but nonetheless essential tasks of radio production, such as photocopying scripts, creating sound effects, taking care of actors and making numerous cups of coffee for everybody involved. Since those early days, Rachel has also become one of our tried and trusted band of script readers, a task she has been happy to perform in spite of sometimes being geographically separated from us. Rachel took some time out a few years ago to travel right round Australia, and recently she and her husband, Robin, lived and worked in Chicago for a couple of years. She still somehow managed during that time to read several batches of scripts and write detailed critiques for our playwriting competitions, in spite of the fact that she was also working full time as a Montessori school teacher. Rachel likes to divide her time between teaching children and being involved in radio production, and at the moment she and Robin are living in Scotland with their young son, Jonathan.
