Donathan in the Waste
Project Overview
Donathan in the Waste is a darkly funny, dystopian, radio style audio drama set in a ruined future London, where propaganda, panic, and old world music collide.
Presented as an in character broadcast, it blends dry wit, horror, and rich sound design to paint life under the watchful “Brothers of Parliament.”
Part satire, part survival story, it’s a chilling listen where calm voices mask chaos in the Waste.

Good afternoon, Folks! It’s a fine day in London — just a light fall of ash, acid rain and barely a shriek from the northern ruins of Buckingham Palace.
That was the exquisite voice of Dorothy Squires with Danger Ahead, Beware. Now, before we move on to the next track, a quick word of caution: we’ve been advised to avoid Kensington Gardens this afternoon. A pack of tickers have moved into the area, discovered by a passerby while they were… enthusiastically working their way through the remains of unidentified victims. Best steer clear, folks.
Oh, for heaven’s sake. No need for theatrics. You stay here and calm down while I go and ensure it doesn’t… redecorate the building.

It is not short for Donathan - your name is simply Don!
Not the creeper - no, no, mummy!
This is an official address from The Brothers of Parliament. Stand tall in your heritage. Your voice is the pulse that drives this city forward.

Good afternoon, obedient citizens! We gather to celebrate 200 glorious years of the Brothers of Parliament — guiding London through fire, fallout, and the occasional unfortunate melting incident.
For 200 steady years, the brothers have sheltered us, shaped us, and guided every step we take through the Waste. Their vigilance has kept the dark at the borders. Their wisdom has carved order from ruin. And their watch — quiet, constant — has ensured London Reborn never strays.
Don’t forget attendance at your local Loyalty Festival is mandatory. Last year, a gentleman ‘misplaced’ his invitation… and parts of him are still turning up in the drainage filters.
A warehouse operative bursts into view—sweat on their brow, breath hitching, eyes wide with the kind of fear that only comes from seeing something no one should. They're scrambling for words as they alert Donathan, voice cracking under the weight of panic.

It’s escaped, sir! It’s out—properly out!
Sir—why are you putting on your hat and coat? Sir? SIR? Are we evacuating? Am I supposed to be evacuating?!
THE DISTRACTION?! FROM WHAT?!
