Remember the thrill of sitting beside the wireless, tuning into the latest adventures of 'Dick Barton - Special Agent'? Or listening late at night to terrifying stories in 'Haunted Tales of the Supernatural'?
No? Neither do I, but now we all have the chance to experience the thrill our parents and grandparents experienced thanks to the good people of 'Radio Variety Hour'.
The cast of actors - Bert Maverick, Una Broben and Herb Dunstone - lead the audience through fifty minutes of hardbitten detective drama, swoonsome teeny bop crooning and chilling terror in suburbia.
This is a love letter to the days when the pictures were always better on radio - only this time we actually get to see those pictures for real.
The real-life cast of Lauren Bok (Broben), Sam Marsden (Dunstone) and Bert Goldsmith (Maverick) effortlessly slip from character to character and keep the audience entertained in between the On-Air segments with some acidic sniping and banter as disharmony is sewn between our heroes with the arrival of the flickering temptress that is television.
Will our heroes reconcile their differences? Or will Una hit the big-time and jump ship for the allure of Channel 9? Why is there a cabbage on stage?
If you want an answer to those questions and so many more, then get yourselves down to the Lithuanian Club before October 5th.
