Ghost

Sam and Molly are a very happy couple and deeply in love. Walking back to their new apartment after a night out at the theatre, they encounter a thief in a dark alley, and Sam is murdered. He finds himself trapped as a ghost and realises that his death was no accident. He must warn Molly about the danger that she is in. But as a ghost he can not be seen or heard by the living, and so he tries to communicate with Molly through Oda Mae Brown, a psychic who didn't even realise that her powers were real

How this relates to my radio play? :

- Content: The Male trying to protect the female in the relationship against life threatening and dangerous situations.
~betrayal of Friends: Carl betraying Sam and Rory betraying Billy
~ The Male is killed

-Genre: Romance, Trust, Hope and Betrayal

Characterisation:  Sam: relation to Billy: Both of these characters are similar as they both want to protect the woman they love. For example in Ghost Sam risks his life tro save Molly and wants to protect her even when he is a Ghost and Billy wants to protect Helena from the camps and the horrors that she has to face.

~Molly: relation to Helena: They are both well educated women and would do anything for the men they love however they can also be dimissive for example when Helena doesn't understand the camp and how serious it is with her being in there and when Molly ignores Ode Mae's warning that Sam gives her about Carl.

~Carl: realtion to Rory: Both are best friends to the main character and they also both care about their jobs however both Rory and Carl are characters who cannot be trusted, get jealous easily and who also betray their best friends for instance when Carl makes sure that Sam gets killed for money and Rory tells Billy's father that Billy and Helena are together.
