The Fitzrovia Radio Hour
Ambassadors Theatre, West Street, London
The Fitzrovia Radio Hour is a spoof of the early days of radio drama, taking 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 selectin 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.
The Fitzrovia Radio Hour 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.
