What's it all about?
The Fitzrovia Radio Hour is a spoof of the early days of radio drama and was a hit at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2010 and 2011, and enjoyed a West End season last January. It now returns for this limited season on Tuesday nights only.
Who's in it?
The core cast includes Jon Edgley Bond, Alix Dunmore, Tom Mallaburn, Alex Ratcliffe, Martin Pengelly and Phil Mulryne, along with visiting artists.
Suitable for
Those who can hark back to the days of listening to popular radio dramas will enjoy the nostalgia trip and find familiarity in the Fitzrovia Radio Hour's parody. But even those who never got to experience that first time around will get a kick out of the style of entertainment the British public once thoroughly enjoyed.
What's the story?
The Fitzrovia Radio Hour takes audiences back to an era of casual imperialism and cut-glass accents as they watch a troupe of performers stage three radio plays, complete with sound effects.
Each show includes three radio plays from a selection of five, all of which are reminiscent of the golden age of radio. Witness vegetables simulating fistfights, thrill to a whisky bottle which is a dead ringer for a Nazi midget submarine and gasp at a watering can playing the roaring Atlantic.
