The new drama is jointly produced by the Watermill Theatre in Newbury and 大象传媒 Radio Berkshire.

After a series of performances at Thatcham Town Football Club in March 2008, the play, written by Ade Morris, was turned into a radio drama and broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio Berkshire on Wednesday 2 April 2008.

The Great West Road ties together stories from Thatcham past and present and is set on the day of Thatcham's great flood in June 2007.听
